Uhh…any adjusting for race in this, to maybe shed some light on cultural factors?
Oh come on, now you’re just trolling.

I like bagels. I thought the Dark Side was the one with sugary things like cookies and doughnuts!

silly, if you want to find a divide over food look at those who advocate policies that strip a person of choice. You most assuredly find Democrats leading the charge to save us from ourselves.

I would be interested what flavor of Kool-Aide each party prefers.

I really can’t accept that the GOP is the party of diet soda, whereas Democrats are the party of sugar-laden-laden carbo-beverages. Nope, nope.

How ’bout we try this: let me eat what I want to eat, you eat what you want…WTF does everything have to be “polarizing”?

Because this way we can ban each other food’s supply and starve one another to death. Duh.

Democrats are right. Lying to your body about the calories it consumes causes the body to go into hibernation mode and you can actually gain more weight than otherwise.

You’re using an odd metric for a judgment call on this.

People can compensate for their impulses.

Awesome.

They should’ve included Libertarian: Swanson vs. Food

They should have asked these two questions:
We all know what the results to those questions would be.

Thats because vegans are effing annoying to have to eat with.
“Oh I can’t eat there, all they have are salads!”
No… they have a lot more than salads but in your typically effing selfish way, you refuse to consume calories like a regular human being and make everyone elses’ lives around you miserable.
I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE Vegans.
