In this world of copycats - as in teenage suicides and mass shootings to pick two lighthearted examples - my question is, who’s going to lead in the dietary coercion stakes?

Will it be Chelsea Clinton, with her vegan faire and gluten free wedding cake at her very overpriced wedding?

Or will it be the “depravity” of competitive eating - in which competitors have increased their ability to scarf down hot dogs from 25 in ten minutes, ten years ago, to 68 in a recent record breaking bortz out at Coney Island according to Slate.com.
