Victual Voting

What will those tricky political pollsters do next? It turns out they can tell a good deal about your political leanings based on your cupboard contents. Political strategists have begun targeting voters based on their food preferences.

I've read about what Hilary eats and heard from her former White House chef. I would guess Cindy McCain isn't much for cooking. Yet I didn't know that our food choices could be linked to our political ones.

It's worth reading the findings to see whether the microtrenders have you pegged correctly. Among other things, Hilarians are likely to shop at Whole Foods. Obamaphiles, meanwhile, favor farmer's markets. And McCainiacs go to a regular supermarket.

From comparing my food and political preferences, I'd say the forecasting is fairly accurate. As for my preferred candidate, I wouldn't want to broadcast my choice. Besides, I gotta run--the farmer's market closes soon.
