Don't the contestants throw them all up after the contest?

Very few of them are actually fat.

Fat or thin, consuming that much food in that manner would cause vomiting. I once heard that they throw it up.

Wait, that much salt? Can't you die from salt intoxication consuming that much at once? Some kid in a Frat just recently died from drinking a quart of soy sauce as a pledge.

There actually is a rule in place about how long they have to keep the food down. They probably do throw it all up later, but not until long after the contest is officially declared over.
