    How is it that this was ignored over a year ago?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Check what Trump tweeted that day. That might be your answer.

          Try the Trump Archive, e.g., the following queries return all records it has between 2020 Feb. 5 to 2020 Feb. 7:

            George, what's the secret to getting Ax to respond to you?

            Education is extremely important.

                Oduah’s feelings toward candied yams have since changed, and now she has a fondness for the dish.“I wish [Americans] knew how versatile and delicious yams are. I personally believe the yam deserves to be where French fries are,” she wrote. “I wish more people knew the history there.” Or, as Dr. Barton wrote, “As the sweet potato takes up the role of the yam—foodstuff for sacred twins and ancestors—it epitomizes the creativity of the diaspora.”

                It's almost like the racism narrative can be found anywhere, if you squint.

                The last best insight into cuisine I ever had was that cows and chickens seem to account for lots of our food. Because of economies of scale.

                And also that some cuisines are invented because they lack any calories in their environment, so they have to make do. Necessity and invention and all that. I suppose there are culinary insights though, but insects ain't it.

                Education is extremely important.
