Why Candidates Should Avoid Eating in Public

Candidate's Photos While Eating Are Rarely Attractive

by Eaton Bigg

When will they learn? All across America, candidates for all sorts of offices get photographed stuffing food into their faces. The results, while often amusing, rarely end up to the benefit of the candidate in question. It's not a matter of party, though. It's because eating is not generally attractive when examined closely. When photos are taken, as they always are when there is a political candidate near a camera, the public sees them engaging in one of the less attractive things people do. To wit:



Lesson: Eat privately, candidates. Please. We don't need to see that. That is all

Is that young man standing by in readiness to apply the Heimlich maneuver?


Edit: Or could he be positioned there to make sure Trump doesn't walk off
with the gold plated flatware?

There are only three options: American, provolone, and Wiz. That's right, Cheez Whiz! There is also the option of "wit'" grilled onions. Had Kerry known to order a Wiz wit', he might have been President.

I realize I'm digressing, but not being religious, I don't know bible passages.

I'm an atheist, by the way, but I'm very familiar with the Bible. I'm funny that way. I can't always remember exactly where something is in it, but I know it's there and can find it very quickly.

Lots of atheists know scripture better than all but the most devout Christians.
