I’ve never eaten a horseburger. I’ve had peacock, crocodile, buffalo, kangaroo, and KFC, but nary a horse. Slovenia’s Martin Strel eats horseburgers. He also drinks two bottles of wine a day, and says “Fat is my power”. He also swims 2.5 miles an hour, five hours a day, and, to raise awareness about pollution and the destruction of rainforests, does this in the world’s most dangerous, dirtiest rivers. After previously taking on the Mississippi and the Yangtze (which saw him swimming between human corpses), in 2007, aged 52, he was the first person to tackle the Amazon, where he swam 3,273 miles in 66 days.
