Glorifying gluttony on the 4th of July

I was just reading about the annual hot dog eating contest held on July 4th each year at Coney Island, New York. This year's "winner" consumed 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

The concept makes me sick.

Gluttony is being glorified and rewarded.

Meanwhile, some 12.4 million children go hungry in the U.S. today. (That's 16.9 percent of all children in this country.)
