From the Virginia-based Daily Press comes a story of Partha Peddi, a 28-year-old vegetarian from birth who will soon compete in a qualifying round of the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship. Peddi, originally from India, has been a casual meat eater for the last four years, according to the DP. It was only recently that he made the decision to step his game up and begin "training" to eat meat competitively. Aside from shedding a few pounds, Peddi apparently tries to stretch his stomach by rapidly drinking a gallon of water. The regional event in which Peddi will compete decides who will go on to face such well-known competitive eaters as Takeru Kobayashi (right) and Sonya Thomas at the July 4th event at Coney Island.From vegetarian to hot dog eating competitor
