I ate only foods that have been boycotted by the alt-right and liberals - and it revealed an absurd truth about Trump's America
Hollis Johnson
- Food brands have been hit hard by boycotts by the right and left.
- I decided to go on a boycott diet, eating only foods boycotted by the left one day, and only foods boycotted by the right the next.
- Liberals may be missing out on tastier food than conservatives - but there's much more to the story.
In a politically polarized country, what you eat can say a lot about what you believe.
The past two years have seen an unending series of politically motivated boycotts and counterboycotts. People on the left ditched Papa John's after the founder slammed NFL leadership, only for the right to start smashing Keurigs because the brand pulled advertising from Sean Hannity's Fox News show.
With the boycotts adding up, it felt like you could craft an entire diet based on what certain people are refusing to eat.
So, I decided to do just that.
For one day, I would only eat items boycotted by the left and endorsed by the right. The next day, I would do the opposite, feasting on liberals' favorite foods, which conservatives refuse to touch.
The experience would leave me feeling physically ill - and emotionally queasy.
