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.

“O’Rourke called for the establishment of farm-to-table restaurants in every community to combat poor nutrition.”

Accompanied by a fine Boone’s Creek Farm or Ripple wine accompaniment?

This dunderhead is around so much money and so many arugula salads he has no concept of what he is talking about. Maybe he’s taken too many spills off his skateboard.

I scratched my pet pig behind his ear just before I shot him in the head. He was raised well.

"So what happens when farms are not able to get away from fossil fuels per decrees from Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk???"

Zimbabwe.

Socialism solved their problem of people profiting off of food production, and it can do the same here.

Aren’t libs amusing when they presume they get to define ethics? You’re a liberal, just focus on keeping your diaphragm moving. Get that mastered and we’ll move on to heartbeat.

“Make eating to expensive for the peasants.”

Well, in his defense, he may be thinking others just eat dirt like he does. Or maybe he does get his ‘apricots’ cheap because they ARE small turds.

My God! These people getting dumber by the day! Has anyone heard one, just one, proposal on how to make things better? Is there anyone on the dem side talking about opioids? Immigration? Drug prices??

The answer is no. They’re all in on social s**t like trans, gays, race, diversity, “climate”, “equality” for everyone but whites, Nazis, “hate crimes” crimes against Muslims etc.

They’ve jumped the shark. There’s no turning back. The commies will be eaten by their own created victim groups.

Popcorn. Must. Get. More. Popcorn

Bobby O’Rourke has no idea what a farm to restaurant operation is, but we have plenty of them here in Cow Town (Kansas City). Number one requirement: farms. Once you find some of them within reasonable different, you just need some enterprising farmers and chefs and folks will show up for great grub at a good price.

There are no farms, per se, in El Paso, but they have some great steak places with the meat from local ranches.

Robert Francis is the definition of a clueless narcissist!

He’s a fool trying to lead other fools—most of whom are snowflake dumb@ss millennials. I think the idiots in the fake news media have finally figured this out.

That will end the obesity problem. Which is part of the plan.

Note, no sarcasm.

Go to a Bob Evans restaurant. Great biscuits, more mashed potatoes than the Devil’s Butte in Close Encounters, inadequate side dishes and not so great main courses. But there’s a farm on the menu!

I think aragula is very expensive beef.

With a jumbo sized drink you had better get at least 3 plastic straws. Lol
