When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker traveled to England earlier this month, he did not want to talk about evolution. He was, however, happy to tout his belief in innovation—innovation in the art of cheese making.
After the potential Republican presidential candidate opted to “punt” rather than respond to a question about whether he subscribes to Darwin’s theory, he went on to praise the virtues of free trade and economic competition: “Colby cheese comes from Colby, Wisconsin. We believe we make it better than anyone in the world, but we do not begrudge anyone else trying to make a better cheese. In other words, we say, let the best cheese win. From my point of view, truly free trade rewards hard work and innovation.”
