A letter From The Editor WhyI didn"t report on the Goya National Black Bean Eating Championship held at the Central Islip Islandia Festival On or about early 2001 I sent out portfolios of myself and competitive eating in general to many companies . It was a new burgiining sport and one of the companies that I contacted was Goya Foods , I told them about the new sport and myself as a champion eater and aske them to ride the wave of success with me on this new burging sport, It was sent Certified mail to them return receipt requested and they not only signe dfor the portfolio they replied back that they will contact me in the future . well this is how I get repaid for introducing thenm to the sport , not a mention by them , not aked toparticipate in any way not even to take a bow , in essence they stole my intellectual property. Many people were ripped off . ArtBuchwald was ripped off for the Eddie Murphy movie coming to America. Steven Speiberg ripped of a protege of Jackie kennedy for Amestad so on and so forth I can go on all day. But Goya Foods is not an honorable company that's all I can say, I ha d received press alerts for the contest for about a month , but chose not to publicize the event , can you blame me. end
this is Don lermnan speaking , you don't like my site or me find another pastime, What I did was for a new bergining sport at a great cost to me , I helped make the sport what it is today , you ungrateful individual, how do you like dem apples
