Food writers commonly exhort their readers to “vote with their fork” in support of a progressive food policy agenda. However real voting involves supporting political parties, and most people do not know the political history of food. This book examines Democratic and Republican approaches to food policy in the spirit of helping the foodies and farmers see where things stand.

R.C. Harris, Ph.D. is a Professor of Politics in the Williams School of Commerce, Economics and Politics at Washington and Lee University where she teaches public policy, environmental policy and food policy. She has published research on biotechnology policy and farming policy, and given numerous talks on food politics to academic and community audiences.
