Former NYPD Captian, NYC mayoral candidate and militant vegetarian Eric Adams called out his opponent, Kathryn Garcia, “food czar” during the pandemic, for including chicken nuggets in the emergency assistance:
Vegetarian @ericadamsfornyc hits @KGforNYC for sending chicken nuggets to people who needed food during COVID crisis. He say she fed them the food that created their comorbidities.

Is NYC ready for a mayor who will take away their chicken nuggets?
That’s not going to land. https://t.co/btSC80dAvW

The COVID-19 food program did include vegetarian options for anyone who wanted them:
If the biggest criticism against @KGforNYC is sending chicken nuggets to people who were hungry, I trust her to run this city. Not to mention the GetFoodNYC program offered vegetarian options, in addition to Kosher and Halal as well. #garciagetsitdone https://t.co/pPKErVfqME

Adams also wants the other candidates to meditate every morning:

Yes, we are seeing who these candidates really are:
