As Twitchy told you, earlier this week, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio lent his voice to the chorus of climate change experts reminding us that we’ve only got 12 years left to save the planet.

We have twelve years to turn the tide in our fight to save our planet. TWELVE. We don't have the benefit of a federal government to lead the way and we can't wait for this president to wake up. It’s on us to make radical change.#GreenNewDeal#EarthDay⁠ ⁠ — Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) April 23, 2019

And apparently that radical change involves banning glass and steel skyscrapers and … hot dogs:

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.

It’s for your own good, peasants.

Collectivists literally voting for their own starvation. BTW, the reason we have processed meats in the US is it made protein more accessible to low/middle class families. Still does today. Not everyone is a millionaire socialist who can eat filet every night. — Joey S (@JoeySFromCO) April 25, 2019

Sounds more like there trying to get rid of the only affordable meal on the #NewYorkCity streets of #Manhattan — The Bastard of Winterfell (@hotstreek420) April 25, 2019

These people are insane. I do not think they realize how out of step they are with almost everyone. — Douglas Lukasik (@DouglasLukasik) April 25, 2019

You can't fix this level of stupid. You really, really can't. — Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) April 25, 2019

It takes real talent to out-nanny Michael Bloomberg, but Bill de Blasio’s giving it his all.

Will the last person to leave the city please turn out the lights? https://t.co/4JPSTYSIoo — Jazz Shaw (@JazzShaw) April 25, 2019
