Kamala Harris Orders a Sandwich
I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that as it relates to bread, and as it relates to what we need to do in terms of containing the ingredients of the sandwich, we know that there are things and tools that are available to us to contain those ingredients.
Let’s be clear. Gluten allergy is real in this country. Wheat allergy is real in this country. I often advocate that we look at many sides of an issue, walk in someone else’s shoes, and identify and reject false choices. For too long, we’d been told there were only two options: wheat or white. You can believe in the need for ingredient containment and also oppose excessive carbs. Today, for America and for the future, because it is the time that it is, I believe that the time is when we will have a lettuce wrap.
I'm a career prosecutor. I have been trained, and my experience over decades, is to make decisions after a review of the evidence and the facts. And not to jump up with grand gestures before I've done that. Some might interpret that as being cautious. I would tell you that's just responsible. You hear people saying, “American cheese isn’t cheese,” “American cheese isn’t cheese.” I believe that’s a mistake. We’ve gotta do the work. These are complex issues. American cheese is a cheese that is made from a blend of many cheeses, and not so much milk. And that scares people, because change is scary, right? And so American cheese is a cheese that is a cheese, both here and America and elsewhere, that is actually many cheeses, all in the same room, with dignity. And that to me is unity. And that is what we mean by unity, and that is not a Hallmark card.
I love cheeseburgers from time to time, I just do. But also, what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment, we have to do a much better job with that and the government has to do a much better job with that. Turkey is a lower-fat meat. Now, are there still problems? Sodium is a problem in this country today. Nitrates is a problem. Some people, they think you can solve every problem, but you can't solve every problem. But what you can do is, you can lead with dignity. And turkey. And American cheese.
It is time for tomatoes. And that time is every day.
The little dollop of horseradish sauce, right? The little dollop of horseradish sauce. So when you think about it, there is just a little dollop of horseradish sauce.
The ingredients must work together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be.
No salt and pepper. [Bizarre, inappropriate laughter]
