New York City is the first city in the United States to eliminate processed meats.
Mayor Bill de Blasio approved an ambitious $14 billion Green New Deal on Monday, April 22, to combat climate change. The plan will cut purchases of red meat by 50 percent in its city-controlled facilities such as hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities. The new commitment builds off of the Meatless Mondays campaign that was adopted by all NYC schools in 2017.
"If we don't act soon on climate change, our children will pay for our mistakes. And if Washington doesn't hold Big Oil accountable, New York City will."

Perhaps it is an immigrant from Detroit to New York.
Is Soylent Green still available in New York City?
Coney Island is a peninsula attached to the rest of Brooklyn (which itself is on Long Island), so it’s been NYC since 1898.
It’s such an awesome movie.
Imagine them trying to make that today...
So true.
NYC is losing its soul.
This is satire no?
Did anyone actually read the article?
It’s impossible to tell satire from reality now.
You don’t need to read an article on FR.
A nice thought, but unfortunately no...
You can chalk this up on the same list of prog/facist/envirowhacko crap that reccurs far too frequently. Such as,San Francisco wanting to ban perfume and require at least two fruit trees in the yards of privately owned homes...
San Jose’s proposed special tax on two stroke motors and charcoal fueled BBQ grills...
LA’s solar power rules...
Federal government mandated standards for number of gallons of water per flush your toilets are allowed.
My list is by no means inclusive. And it will only get longer. You see, folks like DeBlasio and Bloomberg before him have nothing personally against red meat. They just want to make sure that they and their grandchildren can enjoy all the beef they can while the serfs (you and I) get our daily 1,000 calories of rabbit food and every now and then, some crickets for protein. This is what the prog/facist/envirowhackos call “SUSTAINABILITY”. Every time you see the word SUSTAINABILITY know what they are talking about — “You don’t get to do “X”, but we get to because we are specialer than you. And don’t forget it, peasant.”
Who will they tax when everyone finally leaves the city?
= = =
If you can just get ONE division by zero,
you will have unlimited tax income forever.
Taking them out of city run facilities isn’t a ban. It’s stupid. But it’s not a ban. Headline is a lie.
Nathan’s makes the best horseradish pickles on the planet.
Thankfully, Coney Island is not in NYC. It will be a long ride to take just to get a hot dog.
OK, so far:
no plastic bags
no straws
no steel buildings
no windows
no hot hogs
no pepperoni
no baloney

I’m not sure. The radio station is legit............But it’s in Los Angeles not NYC................
I worked in NY State Corrections for 25 years, and was told when I took the job...that you don’t mess with a convict’s mail, and you definitely don’t mess with his food. Have fun at your city lockups Bill!
I do not think I will ever again visit New York City. Mayor De Blasio is a nut case. How does banning hot dogs improve the environment? It does not! These people are causing chaos in our country for no reason except to advance the democratic agenda. De Blasio sounds like he is from California. They do not want any drilling or any refineries, but they want gasoline. Bunch of weirdos!
My thought as well. NYC cant be THAT stupid, can they?
