  • EVERY food meets that same criteria. So of course the bar is not high under that categorization.

    The problem is that calling a physical object "political" just because it can be placed in a political framework makes no sense, because then everything is "political" at that point, thus making the term pretty meaningless.

    It would be like saying "potatos are emotional" just because it's possible for someone somewhere to get emotional about a potato.

    What's political are human opinions, intentions and actions. Not a chunk of metal, nor the root of a plant.
