Citing 19th century French food writer Brillat-Savarin's assertion that food preferences offer great insight into one's personality, Mimi Sheraton, writing in Slate, dissects Hillary Clinton's love of "oliveburgers" and popcorn with extra butter.

The presidential hopeful favors lamb (a gamier, more complex meat suggesting a certain sophistication?), enjoys spicy curry (a risk taker?) and digs into Dairy Queen blizzards on the campaign trail (woman of the people, or just pandering?). You'll have to check out the story for an analysis of the symbolism of carrot sticks versus onion rings...

Next up: McCain cuts the crusts off! Huckabee gets MSG headaches! Obama likes tangerine jellybeans, but can't stand the cherry ones!

Is Hillary Clinton's diet one of the reasons she is vindictive and negative? or is it her spoiled upbringing that makes her be such a sore loser? Did she think that being a former first lady was enough to win the nomination to run as president of the United States of America? Did she think Bill Clinton would be enough to be nominated?
Did she understimate Barack Obama because he is "a young inexperience African American?"
Perhaps if she were to be a bit more humble and would have treated Obama with more respect, she would not be in the political quagmire she is in now.

One of the few things I can agree with Hillary about is the deliciousness of spicy foods and super hot chili peppers. :)

Reading too much into things and flooding the already saturated primary coverage even further?

That's more what I'm seeing here ;)
