As mayor, he spent over $1,000 of his own money to tell poor residents of Braddock to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>On the corner of 4th Street in Braddock, where Fetterman served as mayor from 2006 to 2019, sits a city sign likely not seen anywhere else in the United States. The sign doesn\u2019t display the speed limit or parking hours, but rather an order to passersby: &#8220;NOTICE: EAT MORE VEGETABLES.&#8221; Fetterman spent his own money to install the signs as a way to encourage residents to eat healthier, according to local press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Eat More Vegetables&#8221; sign in Braddock, Pa.<\/p>\n<p>The signs Fetterman installed highlight how the Democrat, who is seeing his chances to win in November decline due to voter concerns about his health and <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/dem-senate-candidate-voted-to-free-convicted-murderer-who-killed-18-year-old-for-heroin-money\/\">far<\/a>\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/vote-blue-fetterman-used-crips-lingo-during-mayoral-campaign\/\">left<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/fetterman-voted-to-free-murderer-who-hacked-innocent-man-to-death-with-garden-shears\/\">record<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/fetterman-to-hold-pro-abortion-rally-on-9-11-with-anti-cop-activist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crime<\/a>, has no problem embracing a double standard when it comes to nutritional advice. Fetterman said he was struck by how &#8220;nasty&#8221; the race was turning after a spokeswoman for his Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz said if Fetterman &#8220;had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn&#8217;t have had a major stroke and wouldn&#8217;t be in the position of having to lie about it constantly.&#8221; But Fetterman had no issue giving such advice as mayor of Braddock, which is almost entirely black and considered a &#8220;food desert&#8221; by nutrition experts.<\/p>\n<p>Food deserts are locations where residents can\u2019t easily purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.
