Students eat a burrito and run a mile for charity

Students eat a burrito and run a mile for charity: "One guy ate an entire burrito in 51 seconds. Another ate 10 McDonald’s hamburgers in one sitting to stretch his stomach capacity.

What some might call binge eating, others say is training for the next Burrito Mile — a growing tradition among Montgomery County high school runners that challenges participants in a race to eat a burrito and then immediately run a mile.

But while students say the race is simply a fun competition for guts and glory, some parents say the event is unhealthy and even dangerous."
