From a block of cheese to KFC, a taste of presidential eating habits

CNN  

Story highlights Scrutiny of presidents' diets is nothing new Republican nominee Donald Trump is a connoisseur of fast food CNN — Tastes may change with the times, but the public appetite for information on political leaders’ menu choices is as voracious now as in the early days of the Republic. pic.twitter.com/jQTQYBFpdb — Donald J. Trump August 2, 2016 In 1835, Colonel Thomas S. Meacham of Sandy Creek, New York, sent President Andrew Jackson a 1,400-pound block of cheese. Days before he was sworn into office in 1993, the New York Times listed Clinton’s favorite foods: “Chicken enchiladas, tacos, barbecued ribs, cheeseburgers, lemon chess pie, peach pie, beef tenders marinated in Italian dressing and his mom’s sweet-potato casserole” all made the list. During the 1992 campaign, the former Arkansas governor’s eating habits became fodder for Saturday Night Live, which lampooned his wavering dedication to low-intensity exercises – like jogging in very short shorts.
