Competitive Eating (Physical) by Taalismn

This is training in competitive eating; the ability to pack large amounts of food away in short periods of time. Training teaches a degree of discomfort to pain and avoiding choking. It also teaches the practitioner how to hold down foodstuffs that might otherwise invoke a gag reflex(like extra spicy hot wings, raw clams, sheep eyeballs or fish guts). Besides putting you in the running for Coney Island honors, it's useful for eat-and-runs and putting on impressive showings at diplomatic dinners involving exotic cuisines.

Bonuses:

Can pack away a pound of food per every 5 points of P.E. in 3 minutes(12 melees)
Hold breath an extra 1d4 minutes
+4 to save versus Horror Factor(or its equivalent) with regards to foodstuffs. Jellied monkey brains holds no terror for you.
+1 to save versus non-lethal poison with regards to excessively spicy foods(doesn't suffer indigestion or traumatic numbness of the taste buds).
