So Cool!

Food, like voting, can be seriously personal. What we eat, how we eat, when we eat—from kids who throw their scrambled eggs on the floor to macrobiotic pescatarian grown-ups, people have some decent control over what they put in their mouths. But you’ve got to eat. On an individual level, you don’t need to vote to survive. (For the purposes of this discussion, we’re going to ignore the existential threat to democracy of nonvoting, which, I will happily posit, clearly exists. No votes, no democracy. Ipso factburger.)
