THE HUMAN PIG
01. People eat far too much. Take, for example, the case of Mr James Hornung,
02. of Hampshire, England. Mr Hornung is the Hampshire's champion eater.
03. Before he was moved to Hampshire, he lived in a London suburb
04. where he was called as "the Guzzler of East Grinstead". He started eating
05. he as a child, spending all his pocket money
06. at MacDonald's and to other fast food outlets.
07. Now that he is 55 years old and 150 kilos in his weight, Mr Hornung is known
08. to his neighbours as the "Walking Pig". For a bet, Mr Hornung competed
09. against an actual pig. This was a 150-kilo sow, a female pig called Miranda.
10. Miranda was given to her usual bucket of food at midday. At the same time,
11. Mr Hornung sat him down to an eight-kilo bread pudding. He ate
12. all the bread pudding in just over eight minutes, a kilo a minute.
13. Miranda took more nearly 13 minutes over her lunch. So Mr Hornung won.
14. He said that he had always eaten up a lot. He thought he might as well make
15. some money. He had a lot of bets at four to one that he would beat
the old sow.
