This is Joe Biden's favorite food
Donald Trump and his culinary tastes have been talked about until saying enough. Fast food, steak with Ketchup and chocolate shakes. Perhaps because of having read so much about the matter or because of the ease with which we imagine the current president of the United States ordering a McDonalds, but the point is that it no longer surprises us. Joe Biden, on the other hand, hides tastes and preferences that do amaze us.
Yesterday, on the occasion of the birthday of Kamala Harris, Biden published on his Twitter account an image of both together with the funny phrase: "Next year, let's celebrate with an ice cream at the White House", making it clear that, if you have to celebrate something, choose to do it with this sweet proposal.

And who better than Barack Obama, his former partner in the White House, to confirm the suspicions of many: Joe Biden loses his ice cream. In a promotional video for Harris, the former president joked about how “ice cream is indeed important to him, yes. And he can also get carried away with pasta with tomato sauce.” At first glance they may seem like two simple and usual options, but the reality is that they can tell us much more than expected about the Democratic candidate.
Sen. Kamala Harris: "What's the thing about the ice cream? [Joe Biden] loves ice cream. Tell me about that."

The famous phrase of the philosopher Ludwig Feuerback
"We are what we eat"
Surely we have all heard this phrase at some time, but what exactly does our diet say about us? And more specifically, what does the fact that his favorite food is ice cream say about Joe Biden?
A study by North Dakota State University analyzes how people with sweet tastes also display sweet behaviors and dispositions: "People with a high degree of kindness enjoy sweets much more than people with a low degree of kindness and complacency, "the authors write. The research also shows how these taste preferences have a strong and real link with the social skills of the person. Specifically, the analysis states that those who prefer candy "are more agreeable and more likely to volunteer to help clean up their city after a major flood."
In 2016 Biden declared, "I don't drink. I don't smoke. But I eat a lot of ice cream." Undoubtedly a fact that has been confirmed with the corresponding expenditure, since the electoral campaign of this candidate allocated 10,000 dollars to the exclusive purchase of ice cream, according to Eater. Although this could mean that Biden consumed $ 10,000 worth of ice cream - why not? - What it really shows is that he decided to include this sweet as part of the gifts for campaign donors, who knows if in order to convey that classic kindness of those who prefer candy.

Also, Biden makes no effort to hide his love for this dessert, as he has posted photos and talked openly about it on different occasions. In fact, a tweet he wrote at the end of September allows us to deduce that his favorite brand and flavor is Jeni ice cream with salted peanut butter with chocolate chunks, a classic in the United States.
Some daring people have decided to take advantage of this curious fact and have started to market through Internet platforms products with a photo of Biden with an ice cream cone as the protagonist: postcards, clothes, pillows, mugs, notebooks, magnets, stickers and posters . Now, anyone passionate about the candidate and his desire for this sweet can enjoy an original souvenir at home.
