12 lbs. of burritos in 10 minutes?

Quote:
September 18 — Major League Eating’s 2009 Burrito Eating Championship — always popular among gurgitators — will be held today at the New Mexico State Fair. The winner takes home three-thousand dollars … then spends the remainder of the weekend in the bathroom.
In 2006 the legendary Joey Chestnut won a similar contest at the Fair by eating 34.5 grilled green chile cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes. But the world record for burrito eating was set in September 2007 by Timothy Janus (pictured above with Sonya Thomas), who wolfed down 11.81 pounds of burritos in just 10 minutes. Today’s contestants aim to break the 12 pound barrier, using burritos provided by Garcia’s Kitchen in Albuquerque.

OUCH!!!!

Stretching your stomach to hold all that food is crazy. The medical problems this could cause just seem too risky to me.
Eat at their own risk I guess.
Stomach's can and do rupture.

Do they have this in New Mexico because afterward the end results would NOT be CARB compliant? Where's Al Gore fighting the greenhouse gas when we need him!
