Conservatives are 9% more likely to prefer vertically cut sandwiches over diagonal. I knew it.

I do not cut my sandwiches unless on bread wider than 10 inches asnd then only if I have to pack my lunch.

Where and how did they pick their conservatives? I have known only one family that except under compulsion considered a slice of meatloaf [yes, ONE slice of mealoaf] and mashed potatoes a meal.

I think if this was a genuine poll it needs to be redone. I want info on the demographics of the sample.

NOT unexpectedly, my eating preferences are nowhere near either the "liberal" nor the "conservative" sides of this poorly presented report.

Do I LOOK like Felix Unger?

Wide Italian bread is not uniform in profile - I aim for about equal area compatible with fitting in the package.

I cut, do not tear [the top and bottom slices almost never tear parallel].

Interesting.
In general, I eat like a conservative and think like a liberal. With a few exceptions in both cases.

i consider myself a bit of a "foodie-on-a-budget" and the liberal menu is far appetizing. It would be nicer if they got a larger or equal sampling of conservatives.

It doesn't sound like there was a proportionate enough conservative representation and poor black liberal representation in that poll to be very accurate. While there's probably a kernel of truth to the description of the conservative's diets. It looks like they got their information about liberal dietary habits from a more affluent group of liberals that talk big about social issues but live a "let them eat cake" lifestyle. If there was some mention of cocoa puffs, grape drink, and catfish and collard greens, then I'd think that the survey was more balanced.

I wonder where Quiche lies, politically.
