There is a coup going on in the @nytimes cooking community Facebook group. Here's the scoop: A member posted about making sure to vote, and the moderators removed his post since the group is supposed to be a haven from politics, focused only on food.
The members, numbering over 62k, weren't having it and made it clear that food is undoubtedly political. They began to fashion food to spell VOTE, using captions only directly related to food. The creativity and patriotism is inspiring. Here are some of their creations.

Bottom line: food is political. Food can be used to build community, change lives, feed the hungry, inspire creativity, and it also could be easily squandered. Use your voice (qnd your food) to inspire change.
Here's another great one! #foodispolitical
