...psychology department tackles some of the hardest moral dilemmas humans face and investigates how emotions and “gut reactions” shape our moral sense. His current projects include answering the question, “Ought one feel remorse for ethnically cleansing a bag of gummi bears to leave the flavors one deems most delicious?” We also hear he’s collaborating with Gonzalo Giribet, applying the logic of hot chicks and their assistants to the classic trolley car problem.

But the Democratic candidates aren't about to make it a campaign issue, at least judging by their food fancies on the campaign trail. Wesley Clark packs away Cheetos and Gummi Bears, and when he gets cranky he sometimes demands of an aide, "I thought y'all were getting me a candy bar."
