Where the 2016 Presidential Candidates Stand on Food Policy
Helpful to see a side-by-side comparison of the candidates on specific environmental, health and food issues. Though I have to say, some of the answers scare me! 😳☹️ #policynews

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr I've been waiting for this piece! Thank you for sharing... Though I feel similarly shocked. It's interesting how many candidates share policy recommendations that don't match up with their own dietary choices - kind of like the McDonald's CEO who doesn't eat McDonald's -
Gwendolyn 9yr Yes exactly! On a side note- Ted Cruz saying that if his wife is First Lady, French Fries will return to the cafeteria? Talk about stellar food policy... We do NOT need someone to come in and purposefully reverse all of Michelle Obama's hard work.

sugardetoxme I was chatting with Josh from @FishkillFarms about this. So sad. They are not even doing Peachtopia this year! :(
