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."

If they were serious, they would ban refried beans.

It’d be so much easier to just ban De Blasio.

Live here and it needs to happen like ####ing yesterday

Oh, I know. Used to live there, but am not far away Upstate. The great irony and hypocrisy is that NY's Jr. Marxists are living off money skimmed from the world center of financial trading in US dollar securities, and taxes on the earnings of about 150 top oligarchs.

NYC tends to operate like all the countries in South America (Venezuela is a classic example). Liberalism aways overshadows intellect in too many of its residents. dp0622, better start a wall around Staten Island post haste!

Now that I look closer, I think it is satire.

sorry about that.

I thought it was real when I posted it.

That’s the world we live in. That’s the state of our country.

That’s certainly the condition in NY.

Things are so freaking bad, I really thought this story was real.

The mods can kill this if they want.

This would be the end of traditional NYC delis.

Funny thing is the traditional NYC base will mindlessly support it.

“What about great Jewish deli menus?”

Getting rid of Jewish deli’s in NYC will be a disaster.

All the teachers/students/nurses/doctors/escaped prisoners are going to flock to the Jewish Deli's

Most New Yorkers are getting what they deserve -— they keep electing nuts like “De Blasio”. I feel for the ones who vote against them, and are not able to leave and move somewhere else. That’s one of the big downsides of renting only, in a bit city -— you have trouble getting ahead enough to save up, so you can escape. In my little town in Oklahoma, you can buy a fixed upper for $20,000, with taxes about $300 a YEAR, but there’s nothing to do, and not many services. A New Yorker would die of boredom. Suits us just fine. If we want to see the sights, we can drive or take a plane to wherever.

Oh then probably not but this is an expansion from an earlier school program so you can see this down the road.

Why even visit NYC if there are no hot dogs?

Is Coney Island in NYC? Instead of hotdog eating contests they'll be eating kale?

Parents should be feeding their own kids anyway.

May the public schools sit empty.
