I.F.O.C.E.

INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF COMPETITIVE EATING

SPONSORED BY ALKA SELTZER

This weekend Vincent and I watched a "sports" event on ESPN that showed so much strength and focus. It was and eating competition and the winner received $10,000 and a very "coveted" trophy. He (the winner) also had eaten 53 1/2 hotdogs with their buns in 12 minutes, in a previous competition. The commentary was just like watching a boxing match since they did use some boxing jargon. We found it first amusing to watch these people battle through many eating levels during a 3 day stint. However, Vincent and I both thought of people who are starving around the world while these people just GORGED on food in 10 minutes because they wanted the title of food champion. What a twisted society we live in!
