S1 EP 96: NYC Mayor Eric Adams pushes healthy eating while crime takes a back seat.

Lee Leffingwell

While announcing the expansion of a healthy eating initiative, Mayor Eric Adams said Monday he would lead the way by spending no more than $10 a day to eat healthily. "In a few weeks, I'm going to have Rachel (Atcheson) put through a program where I'm going to live off of $10 a day by eating a healthy, plant-based diet," said Adams from Kings County Hospital. The hospital along with others within the NYC Health and Hospitals System is adding additional Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine clinics that will offer healthy cooking classes.

While all that sounds amazing, I believe the timing of all of this couldn't be more off. The very last things Americans want right now after more than 2 years of a pandemic is being told what to do or being pushed to do something.

NYC at the moment is a crime ridden shit hole and there is a war on law enforcement underway by criminals. Mr. Mayor do the job you were elected to do and clean up NYC first before you advise others of what to eat. As far as I'm concerned when you are running for an elected seat in a county, city, or national election that position is bigger than you. You have an obligation to your constituents and citizens who put the trust in you to vote for you. This is my biggest pet peeve, potential candidates and even so called local political consultants who make it all about themselves. It's not about you. Email: [email protected]
