Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke called for the establishment of farm-to-table restaurants in every community to combat poor nutrition.
Farm-to-table restaurants are part of a socially-conscious movement favored by wealthy urbanites that often feature small, elaborately designed fare from local farms and are typically very expensive.
The Democratic presidential candidate made the gaffe at a Friday event hosted at a brewery by the Nevada State Democratic Party in Henderson, a Las Vegas suburb.

And kale!
Don’t forget the kale!!!
Obama used to sniff arugula during his first few weeks in office. I don’t even know what arugula is.
If I went to a restaurant I would demand a hot dog, extra jumbo soft drink and a plastic straw.
I’m so glad to see idiot Dems concentrating on this stupid stuff.
It certainly shows you that NONE of them have a single CLUE about the important things a President should be concerned with such as safety for We The People, stopping illegals and kicking them OUT, a strong foreign policy that makes our Allies TRUST us and our Enemies FEAR us, Jobs-Jobs-Jobs, reducing crime and the overall health of our Economy.

Since the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to establish and experiment with farm-to-table restaurants, O’Rourke needs to stay in Texas to experiment with his idea using 10th Amendment-protected state powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that the constitutional limit on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA!
Liberté, égalité, fraternité And Kale for everyone!
Beto is a grey, I’m certain of it. Not even one to believe in aliens but if someone was to be one, it’s table standing leftist brained, open border, flailing arms Beto.
What, he’s got $6M in campaign donations? He could suspend his campaign, pay off campaign debt, and start up a restaurant.
Free-range chicken in every pot?
An idea straight from Mao’s Little Red Book.
What’s next?
Blast furnaces in every back yard?
“Beto O’Rourke calls for ethical farm-to-table restaurants in every community”
Hey Beatoff, I suspect that already happens in a lot of rural areas occupied by us smelly Walmart shoppers. Why don’t you endorse something that will benefit the average American like term limits.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has commanded every citizen to turn over an impossible 200 pounds of human manure a day for fertilizer in an effort to revitalize the communist country’s struggling agriculture, according to reports.
In other words, all the Demo strongholds...
At least she didn't call them kulaks (while being recorded)
This is good news. I’m getting bored eating at all the unethical restaurants.
Somebody stick a fork in Beto: he’s done.
Eat dirt and die, Beatoff.
