Members wanted everyone to know that, yes, food is definitely political.
A Facebook group mostly known for fancy food porn and swapping often technical cooking advice turned political after a controversial decision over the weekend by the group's moderators.
Over the weekend, a member broke that rule and shared a post in that favored a particular candidate — a definite no-no. The post was swiftly deleted and a New York Times group moderator posted that the man's post"was removed because he shared a political view in support of a candidate in it, and that breaks one of our group rules."
So in response, people started posted images of food encouraging people to vote with nonchalant captions.
