   110th mayor of New York City since 2022
   





SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND ARTICLES CLAIM NEW YORK CITY WILL SOON BEGIN TO TRACK
HOUSEHOLD FOOD PURCHASES AND LIMIT MEAT SERVED IN PUBLIC FACILITIES AS PART OF
ITS INITIATIVE TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THIS IS MISLEADING; A SURVEY
WILL COLLECT ANONYMIZED, AGGREGATED DATA -- AND A PLAN DATING TO 2022 REDUCES
BEEF SERVINGS ONLY AT MUNICIPAL INSTITUTIONS.

"(Mayor Eric Adams) wants you to stop eating meat and he is going to track you
to make sure of it," says Natali Morris in a May 23, 2023 YouTube video with
more than 100,000 views.

Morris co-hosts a web show called "Redacted" with her husband, former "Fox &
Friends" personality Clayton Morris. The series has previously spread
misinformation.

Similar claims circulated on TikTok, Twitter and Facebook.

Many posts link to a May 16, 2023 article from The Defender with the headline:
"New York to Track Residents' Food Purchases and Place 'Caps on Meat' Served by
Public Institutions." The website is operated by the anti-vaccine group
Children's Health Defense, which AFP has fact-checked multiple times for
spreading misinformation.

Other posts link to an article with a similar headline. But the notion that New
York City is tracking individual households is inaccurate -- AFP has previously
debunked similar claims.

New York City is conducting a greenhouse gas inventory (archived here) that will
include data on consumption-based emissions. But those numbers will be
aggregated and anonymized, according to Ben Gould, president and co-founder of
EcoDataLab, a consulting firm that has partnered with the city for the project.

"Our calculations do not include tracking or collecting any individual's food
(or other) purchases," Gould said in a May 30 email. "Our data is based on
the US Consumer Expenditures Survey, which is a nationwide survey of households
that self-report their expenditures on goods and services over the course of one
week."

He added that the data "are aggregated and anonymized by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics."

Gould said New York City's February 2023 report (archived here) analyzed
national data from 2019 and made adjustments "based upon differences between the
average New York City household and the average US household."


MEAT LIMITS

Some posts misleadingly claim New York City's climate initiatives limit meat
consumption for residents.

In February 2022, Adams, a Democrat, issued an executive order (archived here)
calling for a revision of food standards and purchasing policies at schools and
other municipal facilities. The health department then produced guidelines
(archived here) for city agencies and contractors.

That document calls for more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It also
recommends limits on sodium, sugar and fat.

For protein, the guidelines say processed meats should be phased out by 2025 and
that beef should be served no more than twice a week at most facilities. The
document does not include any limits on poultry or seafood.

The guidelines also call for limiting meals in which cheese is the "primary
protein" to once per week.

The food standards (archived here) apply to city-operated schools, child care
and senior centers, public hospitals and correctional facilities. They have no
effect on private operators or households.
