New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's plan to slash meat consumption in schools and other city facilities is being criticized by the U.S. beef industry.

"Lately, we've been the flavor of the month to combat the environment, and people are not really looking into the true facts of it," says Jennifer Houston, president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a lobbying group.

New York also plans to phase out all processed meat products purchased by city agencies. One of the most significant impacts will be to the school system, where there are about 1.1 million students, and nearly 900,000 meals are served a day, including breakfast and lunch. De Blasio's plan to combat global warming is part of a drive to achieve a nearly 30% additional reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. It also includes investment in thousands of jobs retrofitting buildings and expanding renewable energy.

But NCBA's Houston challenges the U.N. statistics and adds that the cattle industry "cares about the environment as much or more than anybody because it allows us to do what we do."

Show me low-emission beef and I’ll buy it.

Hasn’t the beef lobby set national policy for long enough? Seems some decisions could be made without their help.

Let’s eat as much beef 🥩 we want
