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’ve been told that the only reason we call it that here in the Pocono’s is so that weekend visitors from the east will know that it’s not a replacement head gasket for a Chrystler New Yorker.
Good point... and I see what you did there, but you’re actually spot on.
Some banana republics are, truly less.corrupt and dangerous than Washington DC.
It’s OK. In New york city, hardly anyone can afford to buy steak anyways.
You will eat bugs, drink dirty water, stay trapped in your city and live in your filthy cold hovels and be happy.......................
Better talk to Plugs Biden and his bastard son don’t you think? You know the child molester one that is a Chinese and Russian shill...
No, just stay there and embrace the suck. Don't move somewhere else and soil a new nest.
Nigeria, under Muhammed Buhari, has made some significant infrastructure improvements and government efficiency is better.
I don't eat meat all the time..but when I do, I love it.
I think you are right....I doubt highly he's a vegan.
Schools should serve only nutritious whole foods.
And meals made locally of those whole foods.
Yea, I got that message : )
“Black politicians have been a disaster everywhere. I can’t think of one successful black politician who earned the reputation of doing a good job.”
Not exactly a “politician”, but Clarence Thomas (SCOTUS) is amazing.
JC Watts was pretty solid, too.
Same with Allen West.
Larry Elder never managed to get elected, but I loved his columns
We’ve had some great “black” politicians in Israel over the years, too. (Generally, military guys who ended up in the Knesset)
I think Portland-OR, San Francisco and NYC are competing to see who can destroy their city faster.
Don’t give another inch on 2A, you’re gonna need it.
Could increase it to 15 grams. (a little new math there)
