SEEDS & WEEDS: The Funniest Things People Have Said About GARDENING

The Great Kale Inhale
Hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs, sausages — there have long been the staples
in food eating contests.
Fortunately, now there are more contests that gardeners can
contribute to.
Take the Taste of Buffalo Food Festival in 2016, in Buffalo, New York,
where the food eating events included the world’s first kale eating contest.
The event drew elite competitive eaters from around the country. And
the winner would be the person who ingested the most kale in eight
minutes.
“It’s the new frontier food in major league eating,” declared Crazy
Legs Conti, one of America’s winningest eaters and the title holder for
wolfing down the most corn on the cob and French green beans in single
sittings. Conti is 45 but boasts of having “the stomach of a 19-year-old.”
But Conti was trounced by Georgia’s Gideon “The Truth” Oji. Oji, a
native of Nigeria, polished off 25 ½ bowls of kale — more than half of the
kale consumed by all nine competitors put together.
