Having solved all the problems in NYC, like, with all the rats, Mayor Adams has set his sights on something Important
NYC Mayor Adams vows to take a bite out of meat consumption with new carbon reduction plan
Mayor Adams promised to take a bite out of New York City’s greenhouse footprint Monday by reducing carbon output when it comes to emissions caused by the production and consumption of food — especially meat.
New data released by the city shows that 20% of the Big Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions are tied to food — the third largest source behind buildings, which contribute 34% of emissions in the city, and transportation, which causes 22%.
Adams’ goal is to reduce food-related emissions produced by city government by 33% within seven years time, and to accomplish that he and city officials are taking aim at meat. (snip)
The mayor also said he’s “challenging” the city’s private sector to reduce food-related emissions 25% by 2030, although it was not clear whether he plans to employ incentives or disincentives to help accomplish that goal. The administration official noted that those options are going to be explored as well.
Peter Sikora, the climate campaigns director at New York Communities for Change, praised the mayor’s goal as a “good, incremental step,” but said the city needs to be more explicit in its approach to reducing emissions from businesses.
“On some level, where’s the beef of dealing with the private sector aspect of this?” he said. “The rubber hits the road with the vast quantities of food that are served and consumed by the private sector and this does nothing on that.”
In fairness to Adams, he says he eats a mostly vegan menu. That’s still no excuse for forcing everyone else to eat that way, like how he made the default menu at the city’s Health + Hospitals network plant based. As Sikora makes clear, force will be applied, which would kill off so many eateries, from food carts to Michelin star restaurants. Adams can talk about incentives and challenges, but, when no one complies we’ll see taxes and mandates. But, hey, citizens of NYC should keep their complaints to themselves, since they voted for this.

A common occurence here at the Cove.
Problem is on Teach’s end.
Biden family has 150+ ‘suspicious activity reports’ but Treasury ‘obstructing’ release says House GOP

More lies, subversion and thuggery from the leading family of the democrat crime syndicate.
Communists, and their kin the related by blood aristocracy, have a long history of starving the peasants while they maintain their own standard of luxury. It makes no difference that Mayor Adams himself is involved in a fad dietary cult, he still supports the regime of the oppressors, not the oppressed.

‘Mr’ Teach:
I’ll believe global warming is an emergency when those claiming it’s an emergency start acting like it’s an emergency!
How about a BBQ in Washington Square with the mayor and DA Bragg on the roasting spit?
Would you lynch them first or roast them alive?? LOL.
Of course, a response to the city trying to reduce emissions from restaurants could also comply by serving fewer vegetables. Keep cooking the meat, but forget them stinkin’ Brussels sprouts!
Dana, I eat a lot of veg [Southern boy] and have never found an edible Brussel sprout.
On that we can agree. I know people who halve, marinate, grill, season and wrap them in bacon etc. If it takes that much effort to make them edible, I say toss them. (And they’re still not edible).
Next up, wild goose…
Then there is lutefisk.
There doesn’t appear to be a good way to preserve fish!! There’s a Swedish delicacy that’s canned long-term fermented herring. Supposed to be the worst!!
On the night before opening day we have a tradition of limburger cheese, sliced onion, salt and pepper on cocktail rye. Potent. And beer. No wonder the deer smell us.
