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.

etsummer This is great! Why not bake and experiment with different types of flours, just from a culinary perspective? You get such different and interesting flavors and textures.

This could change restaurant culture, minimum wage and the middle class! #foodnews #policynews

DietID_TeamDietitians This is such a big deal. I'm curious if this new federal ruling will ensure more restaurants will move to a no tipping model to ensure they can compensate chefs their well-deserved overtime pay....

Riki I suspect there are some harmless GMOs, and harmful GMO food products.
My hunch is that Monsanto GMO corn with embedded pesticides is not great for human health.

DietID_TeamDietitians Totally agree @riki it's shocking how much of the developed world has banned GMOs
