Over 1,400 US Mayors Pledge To Promote Plant-Based Diets, As 14 Cities Reaffirm Their Pledge To Ban All Meat And Vehicles By 2030

More politicians and lawmakers throughout the United States are working to get Americans to adopt a plant-based diet, and vastly reduce their individual meat consumption.

This past July more than 1,400 U.S. mayors signed a pact to promote plant-based diets and alternatives, following the lead of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who trailblazed this push earlier this year when he publicly announced the city was going to heavy push a vegan diet, and chastise meat-eating.

This resolution was passed at the 91st annual U.S. Conference of Mayors, which they participating leaders believe a plant-based lifestyle will help to address chronic disease, healthcare costs, and climate change. The Conferences’ website allows users to search and see if their mayor is apart of this conference.

In a lengthy statement to VegNews, NYC Mayor Adams said:

The resolution adoption is incredibly significant as it signals the commitment of mayors from cities across the United States and recognizes on a national level that plant-based approaches are undoubtedly part of the solution to the chronic disease, climate change, and health care cost issues we are facing.

With New York at the frontline of plant-based promotion in our schools, hospitals, and agencies, we aim to lead by example and start conversations that lead to action on how other mayors and cities can apply our best practices and lessons learned to their communities.

Recognition from the US Conference of Mayors that plant-based approaches hold substantial power to positively impact our public health and environmental outcomes is a critical step forward that will advance public action.

This resolution signals to each of their cities that their mayors understand a plant-based approach can relieve environmental stresses, financial burdens on our health care system in the present and future, and our nation’s chronic disease epidemic.

This acknowledgment goes beyond understanding and fuels action and accountability as mayors must lead the charge in developing public and private partnerships with our communities, agencies, hospital systems, providers, and community-based organizations, among others to be successful in addressing these multifaceted issues.

This resolution advances the policy momentum behind plant-based diet promotion and we aim for this to continue to trickle up from the city level to the state level to the national level. Mayors play a critical role in this build up as they are closest to the community, understand the nuances of their citizens, and are able to tailor policies and interventions to be successful based on the needs of their people.

Lessons learned at the city-level will continue to fuel the evidence supporting plant-based approaches.

Our plant-based diet approach is based around inclusion and diversity, rather than restriction and this foundation is crucial in continuing to shape positive public attitudes to plant-based diets.

According to the actual resolution, the mayors who signed this pledge seek to resolve the climate crisis, healthcare costs, and chronic disease, by addressing these with an “intervention,” which includes:

Changing the food we eat, promote, and work to make available to our constituents; a plant-predominant eating pattern centered on the consumption of whole, minimally processed fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole-grains, nuts, and seeds; and

[…] to drive forward, support, and make change through municipal agencies and affiliated institutions, build public-private partnerships, and can be the laboratories to drive change in the country; and

[…] exploring opportunities to include more plant-based options in any setting where city government provides food to constituents (schools, hospitals, social services), exploring opportunities to promote the benefits of a plant-based approach to constituents through public awareness campaigns, exploring opportunities to evaluate the environmental impact of food choices and move toward a more plant-centered approach for individual and population health, as well as local and global environmental wellbeing, and explore opportunities to use these new interventions to tackle budget issues facing every city in the short and long term.

This builds upon previously established goals by some major global cities, 14 to be exact, that have openly pledged that they intend to nearly extinguish meat-eating by the year 2030, and instead emphasize a vegan diet.

These select cities are apart of a lesser known organization known as “C40 Cities;” which, according to their website, says, “Mayors of C40 cities are committed to using an inclusive, science-based and collaborative approach to cut their fair share of emissions in half by 2030, help the world limit global heating to 1.5°C, and build healthy, equitable and resilient communities.”

These cities looking to phase-out meat and dairy consumption are as follows:

• Barcelona
• Copenhagen
• Guadalajara
• Lima
• London
• Los Angeles
• Milan
• Oslo
• Paris
• Quezon City
• Seoul
• Stockholm
• Tokyo
• Toronto

In 2019 these city leaders agreed that they would push more “sustainable habits.” According to a press release, the leaders agreed to:

[…] Work with their citizens to achieve a ‘Planetary Health Diet’ for all by 2030, with balanced and nutritious food, reflective of the culture, geography, and demography of their citizens.

Mayors will use their procurement powers to change what kind of food cities buy, and introduce policies that make healthy, delicious and low-carbon food affordable and accessible for all. They’ll also reduce food loss and wasted food.

Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, and C40 Vice Chair, declared at the time:

Healthy, organic meals for kids, youth, and elderly have long been a top priority in Copenhagen. With our new food strategy in Copenhagen, we further improve our climate friendly food efforts; greener food, less meat and less waste. Copenhagen therefore supports the C40 Good Food Declaration.

Dr. Gunhild A. Stordalen, Founder & Executive Chair, EAT, also stated:

The EAT-Lancet Commission landmark report provides the first-ever scientific targets for healthy diets from sustainable food systems at the global level, and now cities are paving the way for how to implement these in the local context. The Planetary Health Diet is flexible and can be adapted across all culinary traditions and cultural preferences.

A radical transformation of our global food system is critical to mitigate climate change, halt biodiversity loss and build prosperous economies, while improving the health and wellbeing of populations. It is extremely encouraging and inspiring to see cities rising to this challenge and making bold commitments.

Moreover, C40 produced a detailed document explaining the finer points of their ambitions and then some. According to the organization, these cities aim to have absolutely zero meat consumption by 2030, along with no private car ownership, even going so far as to suggest that people will only be able to purchase 3 new clothing options.

The World Economic Forum has of course said for many years before C40 that “You’ll own nothing and be happy” by 2030. According to an essay describing smart city life by 2030, the WEF wrote:

In our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.

Once in awhile, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy – the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free, we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them.

[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 Timothy 4:1-5

We are living and witnessing Bible prophecy being fulfilled: something that ‘dusty ‘ole Book’ warned would happen, penned down approximately 2,000 years ago.

These demented mayors and puppets are being used as the vessels to help usher in this nonsense, as the elites are determined to implement and mandates this.

However, before that happens, I firmly believer yet another scamdemic will need to be launched, which will be the proxy cull livestock and pull meat off the shelves; and/or artificial famine and food shortages to justify a carbon and meat tax; and/or another depopulation event to justify the edicts.
