Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has revealed plans to impose restrictions on the amount of meat and dairy products the public can consume in New York City.
Adams, who is vegan, has vowed to limit public consumption of meat and dairy in an effort to fight so-called “climate change.”
According to Adams, reducing meat consumption will help NYC’s “greenhouse gas emissions.”
Adams’ plan seeks to reduce food-based gas emissions by 33 percent in the next 7 years.
“Food is the third-biggest source of cities’ emissions right after buildings and transportation,” Adams said.
“But all food is not created equal.
“The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crises lies in meat and dairy products.”

CBS New York reported that Adams’ office published data to support his claims that tackling public food consumption will help to save the planet.
“According to new data released by the city, 20% of the Big Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions come from food production and consumption,” the outlet reported.
“The mayor is now vowing to reduce the city’s food-based emissions at agencies by 33% in the next seven years and challenging the private sector to follow suit.”
Adams’ anti-meat and dairy agenda isn’t new, however.
The mayor has already started rolling out his agenda in the city’s public institutions.
Last year, NYC schools introduced “Meatless Mondays” and “Vegan Fridays” to force growing children into adopting a radical diet.
The move triggered a backlash from parents after reports emerged that school kids were being fed fake meat, dry bread, and mushed-up beans.
Parents complained that kids were throwing the food in the trash and eating cookies to make it through the day.
For Adams, however, the plan was never limited to just changing the menu in schools.
The mayor vowed last year that he would impose his own vegan diet on the rest of the city.
“I’ve got to get New Yorkers to eat a plant-based centered life,” Adams asserted last February.
There are several different nutrients that you can’t get from plants including, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, B12, zinc, and more.
As New Yorkers push back against adopting his nutrient-deficient vegan diet, Adams now appears to be planning to usher it in with force.
While the mayor stopped short of revealing how he intends to limit meat and dairy consumption, increasing taxes on certain products would simply price them out of reach for many people.
I hope my chocolate ration stays at a generous 20 grams.
OMG—If you live in NYC, leave now. It’s new name is Loserville.
Those idiots voted for this.
Only in New York would they consider making it illegal to consume a New York Strip Steak.
Killing off the poor and elderly.....
They’re gonna just keep pushing till they get the violent revolt that they’re so hungry for.
What it really means is a city-wide introduction to the eating of bugs. They could at least have suggested to start the eating of rats and other rodents.
Wow.
Is there any black-run government, im any jurisdiction, anywhere on earth that is successful and/or sane?
Serious question. I cannot think of any.
First, I don’t believe he is vegan
Second, this will not play out well with The People, The Community.
Is Soylent Green OK?
Can it be made kosher?
What authority does a mayor have in regards to telling people what and how much they can eat? Someone in NY please beat the hell out of this STUPID #&@$©!!
So now NYPD will be the food Gestapo?
Only if it comes from Vegans........................
How many stock yards do they have in New York City???
Bet they won’t enforce that among their friends and their gatherings. What a joke, but maybe it will drive down prices around the country.
No, no, no. Blow up the bridges and block the tunnels. Let them suffer with what they voted for, or correct it in the next election. But don’t let the contagion of this much stupid spread.
Do roasted rats count as meat? Seriously you can buy it on the streets of New York, not kidding.
