I'm at the gym today doing healthy stuff, and as usual, ESPN is on TV. The sport? Nathan's Hot Dogs on Coney Island's Annual Hot Dog Eating contest. It had everyone's attention. And for the second year in a row, Joey Chestnut won. Actually, he tied, and then won in overtime. Read the story here:

This part of the article made me chuckle:
“Hot dogs are extremely unhealthy, especially when eaten at high volume,” he said. “They’re really processed, they have high cholesterol and too much salt.”
And thanks to the quantities the competitors ate, they’ll likely suffer nausea, bloat, headache, and possibly high blood pressure for several days as the body slowly digests the food.
“One is bad for you, five’s worse and 50 is terrible,” he said.
Luckily for the svelte first and second-place winners, being in better shape helps in digesting the food.
