Phelps - An Olympic Eater

This guy made the French team eat their words. For that, I applaud him and for winning a slew of gold medals for America I applaud him again. There's something very dramatic about the Olympics--a sort of intense emotional connection any spectator can attain when a single person can represent an entire nation in competition. You may not be a badminton player or avid fan, but I can assure you that when the Olympics come around you cannot help but be amazed by two people slapping a shuttlecock back and forth over a net.

So I eat a lot, but I don't eat this much. Phelps may be a swimming legend foremost, but to eaters everywhere he has risen to a frightening level of gustatory stamina.
