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."

It only applies to purchases by the city for school lunches, city run hospitals and jails. Jeez, I’d take hard time upstate over Rikers.
Makes me pray that sea level rise cannot come too soon.
Several years ago I had a Nathan’s Original hot dog from a branded stand in the Slots-a-Fun casino in Las Vegas, and it was utter garbage. It tasted like an off-brand cheapo chicken wiener. Two bites, and it went into the trash.
I felt unwell for days afterward.
I haven’t been able to convince myself to try one since, it was that foul.
Scene: A Prison in New York City
Prisoner 1: Whaddya in for?
Prisoner 2: I was busted for sellin’ Vienna sausages in an alley.
Prisoner 1: Dey gonna execute ya f’dat.
Of course not, silly question................
Not as silly as some of the replies, here.
What about Nathan’s Famous?
LOL!
I still don’t know if it’s satire or not..................
(Let's all sing together, uh one, uh two.......)
Dear Mayor DeBlahsio....
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, oh, what you do to me
It's so cruel to me, it's so pee-yew to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, all you want is to screw NYC
Ever since you came into our life !
I dislike you with relish, you wienie....(signed) Da Brooklyn Buns !

our children will pay for our mistakes.
What he wants is for your children to pay for HIS mistakes!
How can you tell if it’s springtime in NYC ?
The hot dog vendors change their water.
I think the headline is definitely satire, or exaggeration.
It looks like the part about him cutting out 50% of meat in public facilities might be real.
At this rate, there will not be a single business running in NYC that is not connected in some way with the DeBlasio family by the end of his term. DeLgado seems bent on eliminating any of the things that make New York New York. I am wondering if he wants to extinguish the lights on Broadway to save electricity, or shut off the signs of Times Square.
Some places like nyc need it far more than others, but just about everywhere in america needs a revolt against all forms of tyrants like this. we all have them locally and at the state and fed levels.
“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.”
For the children, right. Notice how he doesn’t mention that if China and India continue to make no change (other than signing meaningless agreements referencing changes to be begun in 2030) it doesn’t matter what the rest of the world does, certainly not what NYC does.
And as for big oil. Yeah, that’s the reason I drive my car. To support Big Oil. Not because I want to get somewhere.
They are virtuoso liars these demonrats, every single one of them.
Dear New Yorkers:
Climate change ain’t your problem. Someone else is.
Trust me.
