		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Chris Oates at TreasuredValley.com, who pointed this study out to me, here are some additional and very interesting statistics to expand on the recent NPR story I did called &#8220;The Arugula Wars&#8221; on the question of whether conservatives and liberals eat differently.   According to the report, they certainly do. Here’s a summary of the findings: The data in this report shows a consistent pattern for conservatives to trend towards “homey”, familiar, comfort foods and meat-heavy options. They are more likely than liberals to indulge in fast food and enjoy splurges like cheeseburgers, hot dogs, deep dish pizza and sugar soda. Their idea of international food is a “mainstream” option such as Italian. Liberals are more likely to be adventuresome eaters, choosing international options such as Japanese or Thai. They eat fast food less frequently than conservatives, and when they do splurge on fast food they have a tendency to favor specialty, regional chains. Liberals are more likely to be vegetarians and to choose healthier options such as whole grain bread, darker greens of lettuce, and more frequent servings of fruit. And here are some responses to the report’s questionnaire: Style of kitchen: Conservatives are twice as likely to choose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food has the power to draw people together like no other human activity — think Thanksgiving.  But food can also divide.  In the past presidential campaign opponents frequently used food to divide voters down party lines — think “those arugula eating liberals.” In this installment of Edible Idaho, correspondent Guy Hand looks at eating as partisan politics. &#8220;Food as symbol can represent differences between groups, with foods considered inedible or unsavory by one group used to show the other as less civilized or even less human.&#8221; From Food &#38; Culture Encyclopedia When I started work on this story, I wasn&#8217;t sure how much actual information I&#8217;d find on the subject of whether conservatives and liberals eat differently (or at least think about food differently).  It turns out, I found a lot more than would fit in a six minute radio piece. • For starters, a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research in 2008 suggests that a person&#8217;s belief system influences how things taste.  In other words, if a particular food is congruent with your value system — for instance, if it reminds you of a good childhood or fits with your belief in local food — it will [...]]]></description>
