Starting today, the New York City Department of Corrections (DOC) will serve meatless menus across its jails every Monday. The DOC joined the Meatless Monday movement in an effort to promote better health to people in its custody and to reduce its carbon footprint to participate in the global fight against climate change. All sectors of the DOC, including staff, will participate in Meatless Mondays and vegetarian options—such as chili, fruit, and veggie burgers—will be offered for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

从今天开始，纽约市惩教局（DOC）将在每个星期一对其所有监狱推出无肉菜单。该惩教局参加“无肉星期一”（Meatless Monday）活动，旨在改善其监管的人员健康并减少其碳足迹（carbon footprint），积极参与全球应对气候变化的工作。纽约市惩教局的所有部门（包括全体职工）都参加“无肉星期一”活动，早餐、午餐和晚餐供应各种素食品，如辣豆酱、水果和素汉堡等。

“Eliminating meat at least once a week reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke, and increasing your daily servings of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables will protect against cardiovascular disease,” DOC Chief of Staff Brenda Cooke said. “If the entire US did not eat meat or cheese for just one day a week, it would be the equivalent of not driving 91 billion miles—or taking 7.6 million cars off the road. DOC cannot be more proud to take on this initiative to help improve the health and wellness of those in our custody.”

“每周至少有一天戒除肉类，就可以减少患心脏病和中风的危险；日常增加全谷物、水果和蔬菜的食用分量，则可以预防心血管疾病，”惩教局幕僚长布兰达·库克（Brenda Cooke）说道。“所有美国人只要每周有一天不吃肉类和奶酪，（在每年减少碳足迹/温室气体排放量方面）就相当于汽车减少行驶910亿英里──或者道路上减少760万辆汽车。惩教局无比自豪地实行这项倡议（“无肉星期一”），以帮助提升我们监管人员的健康和幸福。”

Vegan Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams has been working with various sectors in NYC to modernize their menus and programs, including the DOC and NYC public schools—all 1,700 of which adopted a Meatless Monday program in March. In 2018, Adams was instrumental in implementing The Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine Program at the NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue medical system—a program that helps patients overcome illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease with plant-based nutrition instead of prescription medication.

纽约市布鲁克林区长埃里克·亚当斯（Eric L. Adams）作为一名纯素食者，也一直与纽约市各个部门开展密切合作，对各部门的菜单和计划进行现代化革新（modernize）：譬如，除了纽约市惩教局外，纽约市全部1,700所公立学校已于今年三月份开始实施“无肉星期一”计划。2018年，亚当斯积极推动“纽约卫生+医院/表维”（NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue）医疗系统实施“植物性生活方式医疗计划”（PBLMP）──这项计划旨在帮助病人采用植物性营养饮食代替处方药，成功战胜2型糖尿病、肥胖症和心血管疾病等病魔。

“This groundbreaking step and the steps our office is taking … continue to make New York a global leader in public health,” Adams said. “I want to thank the department for working with us to improve the lives of our incarcerated brothers, sisters and fellow New Yorkers.”

“（惩教局的）这项开拓性行动以及我们办公室推行的各项措施……继续使纽约市成为公共卫生领域的全球领导者，”亚当斯说道。“我要感谢纽约市惩教局与我们共同合作，努力改进我们在押兄弟姊妹和纽约市民们的生活。”
