Feeling guilty after your Thanksgiving food orgy? At least you didn't go this far overboard. Competitive eating legend Takeru Kobayashi—banned from the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest—has exchanged frankfurters for gobblers, and just set a world record by consuming seven and a half pounds of turkey in ten minutes. Watch below:
That's enough tryptophan to send a lesser man into a coma.
According to Gothamist, Kobayashi will volunteer at the Bowery Mission's Thanksgiving Day Banquet, intending to "use my unique talent to help those less-fortunate than I am." He's probably referring to the turkeys, which he will help into his endless intestines.
