Why do Republicans have disgusting eating habits?

Je repete: Can it be that they actually prefer corporate swill?

Michelle Malkin takes time out from her busy day oiling the hinges on the doors to the camps to support corporatist food conglomerates and—it’s a two-fer—bake cookies with the kids (those poor kids, and it isn’t just for the cookies I pity them):

Pumpkin chocolate crunch pie

3/4 cup milk
1 (3 1/2-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup canned or fresh pumpkin puree
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie [bottled, years-old] spice
2/3 cup chopped almonds
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 (8-ounce) container frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust

I really like the way she actually specifies non-dairy!

Now, as I’ve said, I’m sure Michelle Malkin is a busy, busy mother, and the God of My Choice knows I don’t begrudge her using packaged food as a time-saver…. But we keep getting these creepy data points, don’t we? I mean, Bush the First has a personal chef, he can have anything he wants, and what does he want? Frozen green beans.

And don’t get me started on Pat Nixon’s meat loaf.

It’s like the Republicans want us to eat corporate food. Food that feels funny. Food that tastes bad. Food that’s full of weird chemicals. Food that has warning labels on it.

Why would that be, I wonder?
