Mayor Bloomberg’s Favorite Vegetable Is… from NYDN Brawl for the Hall on Vimeo.
New York city’s mayor Michael Bloomberg was recently out promoting vegetable gardens in schools.
He also promoted iceberg lettuce, which really shouldn’t have a PR staff, considering it’s got half of all the good vitamins and nutrients like Vitamin C, folate and beta carotene than other lettuces like romaine.
“It may not be fashionable, but it’s real American,” Bloomberg said of his lettuce preference.
Thankfully, with the help of Rachael Ray‘s Yum-o! organization, NYC students will get to plant more than iceberg lettuce in their school yards.
Yum-o! helps students either build a garden or connect to an already existing garden, as well as offer cooking and nutrition classes.
Of course, Bloomberg has other vegetables he likes.
