Comment Gagner 20 000 $ En 10 Minutes ? How to Earn 20,000$ in 10 Minutes? ÉDITORIAL Comment gagner 20 000 $ en 10 minutes ? How to earn 20,000$ in 10 minutes? l suffit de gagner le concours organisé tous les 4 juillet à Coney Island du plus gros mangeur de hot dogs, le “Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog- Eating Contest”. Coney Island, situé à Brooklyn, est considéré comme Ile lieu de naissance du fast-food, le premier hot dog ayant été vendu en 1870 par un boucher allemand Charles Feltman. Un de ses employés Nathan Handwerker, né en Pologne, ouvre son propre commerce en 1916 et lance un concours de mangeur de saucisses de Francfort parmi les immigrés, chacun ayant à cœur de défendre son pays d’origine. En “1916, le concours est gagné par un Irlandais ayant ingurgité 13 saucisses. Actuellement, plusieurs dizaines de milliers de personnes suivent la compétition Nathan retransmise en direct sur la chaîne sportive (!) ESPN Pr Marc-André et sponsorisée notamment par Pepto Bismol, compétition qui consiste Bigard, à manger le plus de hot dogs (saucisse et pain) en 10 minutes, le vomis- CHU de Nancy. sement valant disqualification. Les concurrents mouillent les sandwichs dans des carafes d’eau pour faciliter l’ingestion. De 2001 à 2006, le vain- queur fut un Japonais, Takeru Kobayashi (1 m 73, 58 kg) surnommé le Tsunami, célèbre au Japon pour ses prestations télévisées dans des concours de “plus gros mangeur” de boules de riz, raviolis chinois, cervelle de bœuf, etc. Il possède le record du monde pour les ailes de poulet, avec 337 ailes ingurgitées en 30 mn en février 2012 lors de la 20e édition du Wing Bowl qui a lieu à Philadelphie avec plus de 20 000 spectateurs. Il est l’inventeur de la méthode de Salomon qui consiste à couper le sandwich en deux parts égales pour les avaler simultanément. Malgré un record personnel de 63 hot dogs en 2007, il est battu cette année-là, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut en ayant mangé 66. Le leader actuel du classement mondial a gagné les 6 derniers concours et possède le record avec l'ingurgita- tion de 68 hot dogs. La championne féminine de ce concours est Sonya Thomas (48 kg) qui a réussi à avaler 40 sandwichs. Cette compétition est organisée sous l’égide de la Major League Eating (MLE) dans le cadre de l’International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE), car il existe des compétitions dans d’autres pays que les États-Unis (Canada, Alle- magne, Grande-Bretagne, Japon, Thaïlande, Russie). Ces manifestations permettent d’associer deux traits spécifiques aux Américains : la nour- riture et la compétition. La fédération valide les records dans plusieurs dizaines de catégories : pizza, asperges (4 kg en 10 mn), beurre (800 g en 5 mn), poisson-chat (3,4 kg en 10 mn), œufs durs (65 en 6 mn 40 s), frites (3,6 kg en 10 mn), homard du Maine (5,1 kg de chair en 12 mn), huîtres (46 douzaines en 10 mn), pâtes (3 kg en 10 mn), etc. (voir la liste sur le site http://www.ifoce.com/). On a compris que dans ces classements figurent des mangeurs de compétition et qu’on est loin de nos fêtes locales fran- çaises des plus gros mangeurs de frites ou d’aligot ! 4 | La Lettre de l’Hépato-gastroentérologue • Vol. XVI - n° 1 - janvier-février 2013 ÉDITORIAL Comment se comporte l’estomac de ces professionnels qui gagnent leur vie avec cet organe ? Le troisième du classement actuel de la MLE est Tim Janus, alias “Eater X.”, qui se produit avec un masque peint sur le visage. S’il n’est pas le premier du classement, c’est tout de même un concurrent sérieux capable d’avaler en 10 mn 3,8 kg de poutine (mets québécois composé de pommes de terre frites garnies de fromage en grains et arrosées d’une sauce brune chaude) ! Ce sujet de 1 m 78 pour 75 kg a fait l’objet d’une étude “scientifique” (1) qui l’a comparé à un sujet témoin choisi pour son appétit solide et ses mensurations de 1 m 88 pour 95 kg. Les deux sujets ont tout d’abord subi un test de surcharge en eau décrit afin d’étudier les sujets dyspeptiques. Ce test a montré des capacités supérieures à la normale dans les deux cas. Ils ont eu ensuite une étude scintigraphique de la vidange gastrique aux solides montrant que 75 % du repas avait été évacué de l’estomac 2 h après chez le témoin, mais seulement 25 % chez Eater X. Le test consistait ensuite à ingurgiter le maximum de hot dogs en 12 mn. Les sujets avaient tout d’abord une radiogra- phie de l’estomac en double contraste permettant de visualiser un estomac de taille normale dans les 2 cas. Ils avalaient ensuite les hot dogs avec une surveillance fluoroscopique intermittente et des clichés pendant et en fin de test. L’aspect visuel de leur abdomen était observé. Le sujet témoin ne pouvait avaler plus de 7 hot dogs et son abdomen n’était pas modifié. Radiologiquement, on notait une accumulation progressive des hot dogs avec une dilatation gastrique minime. Eater X. avalait 2 hot dogs à la fois de façon régulière. À la 6e minute, l’estomac apparaissait comme un sac dilaté, sans péris- taltisme. À 10 mn, il avait avalé 36 hot dogs (image) et l’expérience était arrêtée par les médecins inquiets de la Image. Estomac distendu par 36 hot dogs à 10 mn distension abdominale simulant une grossesse avancée (d’après 1). alors que le sujet voulait continuer, ne ressentant aucune satiété, nausée ou douleur. Cette étude et l’interroga- toire de compétiteurs montrent que ces mangeurs de compétition sont capables de dilater leur estomac et n’ont pas de vidange gastrique accé- lérée. Cette faculté s’obtient par l’entraînement en ingérant des volumes de plus en plus importants, souvent de l’eau, pour éviter les calories. Après une compétition, les compétiteurs professionnels ne mangent pas pendant plusieurs jours, le temps que leur estomac reprenne un volume normal. Dans la vie courante, ils n’ont jamais de sensation de satiété et doivent surveiller strictement leur apport calorique pour ne pas grossir. On ne connaît pas le devenir de ces compétiteurs. Il n’a pas été décrit de rupture gastrique, de syndrome de Mallory-Weiss ou de Boerhaave, et l’estomac de ces sujets semble conserver ses capacités de vidange après quelques années de compétition.

    Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest 2015: Prize Money and Purse Payout Details Personal Finance Syndication Network - http://pfsyn.com The Fourth of July traditionally calls for watching a baseball game or fireworks with a hot dog in hand (or three). 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. Not just anyone can enter the eating contest, however. Contestants were required to participate in one of 13 qualifying events held from April to June in various cities across the U.S.

    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.

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.
