The Obama administration may be idealizing American food consumption a little bit when he has a chef sitting in on policy meetings. Like a lot of things in politics, a personal connection to the First Family counts for more than experience or knowledge: The chef, Sam Kass, has a degree in history and has never run a restaurant, yet he has convinced the Obamas he is an expert on nutrition.
