This was just a small article so I posted it here in it entirety. How appalling that they have these contests, and then bemoan the fact that people are fat! Publicising such rubbish just gives it legitimacy - what do others think? And all for just a roasting pan!?

The day before millions of Americans sat down to Thanksgiving dinners, a Virginia woman grabbed the world turkey-eating title by gobbling down a whole roast bird in 12 minutes.
Sonya Thomas, 37, who weighs only 47.5 kilograms, beat seven men in the annual Thanksgiving Invitational, a race to eat a 4.5-kilogram turkey, Reuters reports.
The smallest in the field, Thomas put her victory down to "swallowing fast". "It was very dry and the skin was very dry," she said, holding her trophy, a roasting pan, over her head. "I just tried to eat fast."
