.................I'm sure at some point every parent asks this question.
In Nico's case, we think he does indeed suffer from Infant Eating Disorder of the "Gorge" varietal. He is s-l-o-w-l-y learning that his tiny stomach does indeed have a limit, although he thinks the only way to increase his capacity is to train..........and train........and train harder.
Such dedication does indeed have some sacrifice, which typically ends in mom/dad needing to change their shirts.
Now, everyone knows Kobayashi of Japan, a truly tremendous athlete...........widely regarded as the Michael Jordan of professional eating. To be honest, I've lost track a bit of the world rankings and it seems that the only competition for Kobayashi these days THIS guy?:
I'm absolutely appalled that a country of 300+ million can't generate any true genuine TALENT to challenge the Japanese. Hopefully with Nico's dedication, desire and hunger he'll be looking to represent the US against Kobayashi in 2010. BRING BACK THE TROPHY TO US SOIL NICO!!!!!!!! .................NICO!.....NICO!.....NICO!

All this thinking about consuming mass quantities of food takes me back golden years of the eating circuit, before the IFOCE, before sponsors, the glam..................back when the sport was PURE and the athletes genuinely hungry. Icons like Davie Hogan stood for pride, justice and the american lust for blueberry pie.
You all know where this story goes so against my better judgment I"ll refrain from posting any pictures of that glorious day at the county fair.
If you are at all curious (I know you are), here's what Davie Hogan is up to now:

This picture was taken just after a training session and .08 seconds before, what the IFOCE affectionately refers to as, "an urge contrary to swallowing" . Luckily the cameraman was not injured during this picture, merely soiled.
