Bloomberg forgot he lied

From the Daily News:

In a stunning reversal of a third-term campaign promise, Mayor Bloomberg today answered a reporter's question about his favorite vegetable with a one-word answer: "Steak."

"I like most vegetables. I'm not big on a handful of them," he told reporters, as transcribed by the DN's faithful Frank Lombardi. "But I love steak."

Before he was elected to his third term, Bloomberg told a crowd at the Union Square Greenmarket that his favorite vegetable was really iceberg lettuce -- Celeste Katz's video proof is below. A few weeks later he described himself as "an iceberg lettuce guy," dissing the White House state dinner that featured a vegetarian menu and an arugula salad from First Lady Michelle Obama's garden.

From WCBS880:

After purchasing a cantaloupe-sized pumpkin for $6, the mayor was asked to reveal his favorite vegetable.

He said he eats a lot of onions, but declared iceberg [lettuce] the favorite.

He says it may not be fashionable but insists iceberg is "real America."

Have you ever heard anyone say their favorite vegetable is iceberg lettuce? I think most "real Americans" say "oh, crap, they're serving the cheap lettuce here" when it's featured at a salad bar. It is bland, boring and offers very little in the way of substance. So I guess Bloomberg has proved that you are what you eat.
