Several Democratic presidential candidates will be attending an annual steak fry event, despite lecturing Americans about the need to eat less meat because of climate change.

The organizers of the Iowa Polk County Democratic Party's annual steak fry will be grilling 10,500 steaks and 1,000 vegan burgers on 10 grills, during Saturday's event. Some of the candidates will grill steaks themselves.

Democratic candidates recently participated in a CNN climate town hall, where multiple candidates discussed the importance of reducing meat intake. Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) called for the U.S. government to create incentives to eat less meat.

"As a nation, we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America," Harris said. "But there has to be also what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits

Andrew Yang said he would "modify Americans' diets over time" by increasing the price of beef to the point where Americans would buy less meat. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Mayor Pete Buttigieg are also in favor of adding a meat tax in order to decrease consumption.

I used to volunteer and fundraise for the Iowa Polk County Republican Party back when Darlene Blake was the chairman.

The idea that someone can sit in an audience, hear a pol tell them what to eat......and support it! is mindboggling.

Thanks for posting this. I saw it yesterday and was hoping it got posted. HYPOCRISY! All lies to manipulate the masses.

“As a nation, we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America,” Harris said.”

Go to hell.

I think that Harris has more than her share of meat in her mouth.

I am eating less beef because I can't afford it.

It’s not hypocrisy, they never mentioned they would stop eating meat, it was suggested the peons cut back. To save the planet of course. Thant and give them more money... To buy steaks I guess.

"As a nation, we actually have to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America," Harris said.

I guess she missed those reports of how off the 'governmental' food pyramid has been for decades. Now, she wants government to take an even bigger role? Did we not learn from the Michelle Obama School Lunch Starvation program?

Yeah and Willie’s sauce couldn’t have been an example of her “Healthy Eating” line either.

Americans are not harming themselves with steak and burgers. They are harming themselves by eating too much sugar. Every other person seems to be diabetic or pre-diabetic.

I would love to see President Trump respond to one of them on this topic in the Presidential debates.
