Emily Wilson set a new world record by consuming 1.2 pounds of food
using chopsticks in a mere 13 minutes.
Wilson ate the food on Thanksgiving Day 2008. To accurately gauge the
amount of food, she weighed her plate both before (1.6 pounds) and after
(2.8 pounds) putting food on it. The meal consisted of traditional
Thanksgiving fare: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, and a roll.
Dana Johnson was present to witness the feat.
NOTE: Stuffing food in your mouth can be dangerous. Please use caution
and have adult supervision on hand.

I'm pretty sure this record is routinely beaten in Asian countries every day.
It should just be under "food." It will make future attempts to break this record more interesting.
there was some discussion at HQ over whether this record should be classified as outright "food" or whether it should be specifically "non-Asian" food or even just "American Thanksgiving dinner". Thoughts?
