Today, This Is Why You're Fat (now in book form!) is taking over NYC's most popular food trucks, and launching a whirlwind Twitter/eating challenge. Here's how the contest works: Every 20 minutes @tiwyf tweets the location of a food truck in the city. (Each of the six featured food trucks — including some Vendy nominees and winners — is creating its own This Is Why You're Fat-inspired menu item.) Your job is to eat all six items. The first person to accomplish this gluttonous marathon and provide photographic Tweetpic proof, wins. The winner receives a private food-truck party with 25 guests and tons of free This Is Why You're Fat swag — including the new book.
