A leader’s
diet is one of the many things that followers are usually curious about.
And for a
health-conscious nation like America, their president-elect’s dietary habit is
one of the things that will likely dominate the news as time goes on.
According to
official website, health.gov, there’s the need for Americans to align
with healthy eating pattern.
The site
holds that about three-fourths of the American population have an eating
pattern that is low in vegetables, fruits, dairy, and oils.
“Most
Americans exceed the recommendations for added sugars, saturated fats, and
sodium,” the site contends.
Indeed,
California-based literary agent, Suzy Evans, says the eating habits of American
presidents seem to mirror the ever-evolving diets of the American people.
This being
the case, what is the dietary habit of president-elect Donald Trump?
Insiders say
Mr. Trump is an aficionado of not-so-perfect meals such as the Kentucky Fried
Chicken, Popeyes chicken, McDonald’s and the taco bowls.
If you care to
know, a taco bowl contains 117 calories, seven grams of fat, one gram of
saturated fat, two grams of fibre, 12 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of
protein, one microgram of folate,16mg sodium (salt), 45mg potassium, etc.
A historian
and professor of food studies at New York University, Amy Bentley, expresses
concerns that with Trump in the White House, the nation might see “a different
model of eating that might be something of a throwback to the post-World War II
era of being enamoured with the qualities of fast food.”
According to
Bentley, the post-World War II dietary era was marked by “quantity over
quality.”
