Hizzoner admitted that his city agencies reacted in precisely the wrong way when they were caught in viral video trashing crates of fresh fruit and vegetables last Thursday from a stand that was abandoned on Pelham Parkway. Im really sad about this Id never waste food, the mayor said Monday, recalling how his mom brought me up to finish everything on my plate. The notion that perfectly good food was thrown away is absolutely horrible. So it shouldnt happen, de Blasio said of the video that also sparked a local protest Sunday. You got a lot of good quality food lets get it to a homeless shelter or food pantry someplace where it can be used, he said, saying it should never be thrown out and wasted. I think this is a classic thing of bureaucracies not communicating and not using common sense, the mayor admitted Monday. Im disappointed, and were gonna have to figure out some quick, new approaches to make sure this never happens again, he vowed. The videos, shared by the Street Vendor Project, came after officials shut down the stand being run by Diana Hernandez Cruz, who said she had worked there for five years although she admitted she did not have a permit. Sources told The Post that Cruz had been given multiple warnings in both English and Spanish before she abandoned her Pelham Parkway stall at the junction with White Plains Road last Thursday. Because a health department official was not there to rule on whether the food was safe, garbage trucks were called in to get rid of it, the sources said. Cruz estimated to AM NY that she lost $10,000 worth of produce but sources said the city workers only took a small amount when a crowd gathered and quickly got out of hand, as caught on the video footage. Theres people out here aint got no motherfucking food, one woman yells at them, adding, How fucking dare you. https://twitter.com/VendorPower/status/1441751669725929474 --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:958470808] in NYC Mayor ...
