Freedom Is Eating Steak Well Done with Ketchup: In Trump’s Washington even eating is politicized.
National Review ^ | March 18, 2017 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 03/18/2017 9:57:35 AM PDT by EveningStar

... In Washington under Trump even so rudimentary an activity as eating has become politicized, weighted with aesthetic and class significance, put under the jurisdiction of social arbiters who declare what is woke and what is haram. “Actually, How Donald Trump Eats His Steak Matters,” proclaims a contributor to Eater.com. “The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.” But why is it a problem, Eater.com? Why should so trivial a detail impress itself on the average person’s consciousness for even a microsecond? Aren’t there far more important subjects that warrant reflection and criticism and debate: health care, trade and tax policy, missile threats, the men and women dropping dead from heroin? ...

I agree.Although I would never,in a million years,put ketchup on steak *or* eat steak that's anything but medium-rare the fact that DJT does both is of no importance to anyone but himself.

Given his age and his energy level they ought to shut up about what he eats.

However, I always understood well done meat isn’t good for us. Maybe not?

If that’s the worst they can go after him for, I’d say he’s doing pretty well for himself.

For the left, everything is political. It goes back to Lenin. I know leftists who are Boston sports fans who have no real connection to the city. The are Boston fans because it is their bastion of liberalism.

Who the fork cares?

If I wanna put ketchup on my steak, no one’s business.

So they hate Trump because he eats like a blue collar worker.

More fake news.

The world around us says meat should be eaten right after caught, even if still breathing....But we are not animals, right ?

And? If he ate steak rare they’d call him a blood thirsty tyrant. If he didn’t eat meat they’d call him a sissy. If all he ate was seafood, they’d say he’s at war with our Oceanic eco system.

There’s no winning with lib “opinion” but we win everyday because Trump couldn’t care less and is doing his job.

“The president of the United States insists that his steaks be cooked well-done. Unfortunately, that’s a big problem.”

I take my steaks medium-rare, but anyone who thinks well-done steaks or ketchup as an accompaniment are "a big problem" has a big problem that should be resolved on a psychiatrist's couch.

I don’t care about navel gazing journalists, or how president Trump eats his steak (unless I were cooking for him).

I like MY steak medium rare. That’s what I care about.

The Left says: “Your steak ... you’re eating it wrong. You must go to the re-education camps. You will never see your family again.”

And the media will cheer.

It’s entirely politically motivated. If the leftist establishment media PTB approved of Trump, his eating well-done steak with ketchup would be a sign that he’s a man of the people.

Bingo.... I can’t imagine eating good steak any way but medium or more rare and never with ketchup or any steak sauce for that matter. Good steaks stand alone except for perhaps a little salt and pepper.

But I didn’t vote for our president for his food tastes.

Acts 4:13
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
