People these days are getting fat because they are having eating contests all the time. If they are constantly getting prepared for these eating contests they are going to get fat sometime.

i like ribs and i think that this guy is like a god to BBQ i think he did a good job eating all of this. i also think that maybe if i felt like and put the effort into it i could maybe eat all those ribs. but not in a certain amount of time.

Wow! I can't believe he ate so much ribs. I can only eat a slice and feel like I had enough,but this guy can eat a large amount. If I was in the contest where it is not a rib eating contest,(like desert)then maybe I can win the contest. Well, I know it is not as easy as what I think. It was awesome for him to win the contest.
