I agree, plant-based meals are great. They're good for you, and they'll help us save the planet. I didn't interpret the article as undermining that message so much as revealing Adams' fairly strange relationship with his diet. Of course, the media exacerbates things by shining a light on any minor dietary hypocrisy. What matters most are the decisions he makes as mayor, and he hasn't made many yet. But this isn't the first time he's come across as maybe more than a little goofy: All that said, as anyone from NYC will tell you, hating their mayor is a time-honored tradition. I'm not sure us outsiders are actually allowed to explicitly hate, though, I imagine they wouldn't like that, it's kinda like their thing, or only something they have a right to do, ya know?“When the civil rights battle was on the line, Dr. King wanted the ball in his hands,” Adams told the crowd at Madison Square Garden.
