Recently, The Salt had a chance to chat with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. He's held the top post at USDA since January 2009. As a former Iowa governor, he knows a thing or two about farm country and he's been open about his struggles with weight.
We covered a range of issues from nutrition rules to food stamp fraud to antibiotic use in food animals. But of course, we asked him what he's eating first.
A highlight (talking about the new nutrition rules for school food &potatoes):
"Often times, it isn't the potato, it's the way in which the potato is produced or made available to students that may create an issue."
