How Well Will the Obama Administration Handle Food Issues?

"We all project out hopes and dreams onto Obama."

Perhaps the delusional have projected their hopes and dreams onto Obama but I believe most people realize that Presidents are not kings or gods.

A president has to work on multiple levels within government and be aware of how everything affects everything else. Food issues will affect the economy but not necessarily immediately or even in a good way in the next 4 years.

I couldn't care less about the White House chef, which I think is a frivolous issue. (I'm embarrassed for Alice Waters and that whole initiative.) But Tom Vilsack for Agriculture Secretary? We might as well start eating cornbread with corn fritters, with a side of corn salsa, for every meal.

How Well Will the Obama Administration Handle Food Issues?

I would like to see food issues addressed by any administration, but doesn't everyone think that another food related issue needs to be addressed first...obesity...Obesity is going to become, if it already has not, a huge health care issue for this country, If we are going to have a president address a food issue, it needs to be this.

Excellent point.
