It’s like Democrats think, “What is the most insane thing we can say that these peasants will go along with”, so you get this. New York City’s vegan mayor issues decree requiring city to eat less meat as a means of combating the specter of climate change. There are many good reasons to go vegan, but using climate change as an excuse is just stupid.
New York City’s Democratic mayor Eric Admas reportedly went vegan in 2016 after temporarily losing his eyesight to Type 2 diabetes. With his restored vision, Adams has focused on another reason to avoid meat: the specter of anthropogenic climate change.
While dairy and grain products account for the bulk of the total emissions according to the city’s data, the Adams administration has instead targeted meat, just over a year after the vegan mayor suggested, “I’ve got to get New Yorkers to eat a plant-based centered life.”
Noting that the New York City Health System defaulted to plant-based meals for patients and allegedly cut its food emissions by 36%, Adams said, “The rest of our government will do the same.”
The following agencies will be impacted by this decree: the New York City Department of Education, the Department of Homeless Services, the Department for the Aging, the Department of Correction, the Human Resources Administration, Health and Hospitals, and the Administration for Children’s Services.
Accordingly, schoolchildren, prisoners, hospital patients, and elderly dependents will be precluded from putting their canine teeth to work on protein and mineral-rich meats, at least on certain days.
Although scientists have long held that meat is a vital part of child’s diet, New York City K-8 school children will instead have to throw back chickpeas on Mondays. While dairy is linked to the greatest emissions on the menu, they’ll enjoy mozzarella sticks rather than meat on Wednesday. On Friday, April 21, they’ll have potato gumbo or once again become complicit in dairy and grain emissions by snacking on grilled cheese sandwiches. On April 27, students’ palates will be mocked with a BBQ veggie burger and more dairy products the following day.
At all times, pork is forbidden.
The Democratic mayor also challenged private sector partners to cut their food emissions by 25%, prompting them to take part in the so-called “Plant Powered Carbon Challenge,” in hopes of satisfying Paris climate agreement goals.
America is totally insane.
What else can be said?
Nothing!
