But even if you tend to overeat on all-American dishes on this food-centric holiday, your over- indulgence is probably nothing compared to the food an elite group of athletes will be gorging themselves on — and the money they’ll be earning — competing in Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4. This annual eating competition, staged at Coney Island in New York City, is a bona fide sporting event (participants are even referred to as athletes). It’s a true nationally-televised contest of intestinal fortitude between the world’s bravest and best competitive eaters. On Saturday afternoon, the competitors will race against the clock to down as many hot dogs as they can within 10 minutes and get a chance at a piece of the total $40,000 purse payout. Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest Prize Money Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest is as historic as the company itself. Started in 1916, the 2015 contest marks the 99th time that fans and contestants alike have gathered from across the world (and aspiring contestants) to watch this amazing feat of hot dog consumption; in recent years, according to the Nathan’s Famous website, the event has attracted up to 35,000 spectators.

    News CMAJ Competitive consumption: A profusion of pie, pizza and pulled pork ne morning in 2007, Peter Czerwinski and several friends O visited a breakfast pub. He was feeling particularly hungry, so he ordered a dish called “The Linebacker,” which contained two of every breakfast item on the menu. After wolfing it down, he noticed his friends were only a quarter of the way through their plates. And he was still hungry. Also, he was curious: How many Lineback - ers could a person eat in one sitting? “The record was two plates in an hour. I did four,” says Czerwinski, who at the time was studying mechanical engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. i k s Realizing he had an uncommon n i w r capacity to consume food, Czerwinski e z C went in search of other gustatory chal - r e t e lenges.

Good fun!” —Bruce Hale, author of the Chet Gecko series Delacorte Press, June 2008, ages 10 and up isbn 978-0-385-73394-6 www.IamThuffEnuff.com www.randomhouse.com/teens A Funny and Fun Way to Talk about Something Serious Big Mouth is a novel about loyalty and friendship, about choosing balance over unhealthy extremes, about seeing the line between real life and TV reality, and, most importantly, about recognizing the misguided reasonings that lead to eating disorders. These universal themes speak to all teens, but by combining high school machismo, sports machismo, and the hilariously bizarre world of competitive eating, Big Mouth is especially relevant to teen boys. Today, 15 percent of high school boys are dieting, with peer pressure, media influences, and the weight demands of sports such as wrestling leading the list of reasons why. Big Mouth offers all readers an entertaining, funny, farcical, and emotionally powerful opportunity to explore these pressures. About this Guide The following activities, questions, and facts are intended as a starting place for discussion and offer a variety of perspectives from which you might approach Big Mouth. In addition to traditional book reports and classroom discussion, Big Mouth is perfect for independent or small group research assignments.
