Here's what our candidates eat - and how they can make it better
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Still stuck on who will get your vote on November 4? Maybe you need a new criteria on which to base your decision. Like food. Check out what your front-running candidates use for fuel.
Barack Obama goes for comfort food. A steaming bowl of chili is one favorite, and the folks at Eating Well magazine who dug up this news say they recommend for health reasons that this Democrat make his dish low in calorie and high in fiber -- check out this recipe. Running mate Joe Biden is a fan of Italian food. When he eats at home or dines out, he usually picks pasta -- a little penne with tomato sauce and basil gets his vote. How would Eating Well spice this one up? By using whole-wheat penne pasta and raw tomato sauce.John McCain is a meat lover. Baby back ribs are tops for this Republican, who'd be wise to opt for a heart-healthy, oven cooked pulled-pork sandwich. And for his running mate? Does it surprise you that Sarah Palin likes a good moose stew? A hearty Flemish beef stew, made in a slow-cooker with beer for extra flavor, comes recommended by the Eating Well team
Now, I don't really suggest you base your very important vote on what the candidates eat for dinner. There are many critical topics you should consider before you cast your vote, and chili and ribs are not two of them. But it is fun to imagine what people like Palin pick for nourishment, don't you think?

are you for real?
if THIS is what people are focusing on or basing decisions on for the upcoming election, then i'm even more worried for our country.
