to a broader electorate won't happen with this argument. Telling folks what to eat will turn off many. Look how Michelle Obama was ridiculed for trying it with children! Perhaps this is why Joe Biden is leading? He's not trying to shake our lives up. He's wants to bring back stability. All the rest can be discussed after Democrats are in power. I agree with most of these ideas, but people have to be convinced and persuaded.
