NYC Mayor Eric Adams Declares March 20 “MeatOut Day”

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has declared March 20 as "MeatOut Day" in the city, joining the MeatOut initiative to promote plant-based eating. A week-long celebration of plant-based eating has begun, featuring special restaurant menus, educational events, and more. Participating vendors will offer vegan food options, with support from popular vegan spot P.S. Kitchen.

The MeatOut initiative, started by the Farm Animal Rights Movement, aims to educate people about nutritious plant-based foods to reduce meat and dairy consumption. Over 40 cities across the US have shown support for the movement. Despite recent controversy surrounding Adams' non-vegan diet, he stresses the importance of promoting a plant-based lifestyle for health benefits and encourages New Yorkers to focus on their own dietary choices.
