Norway's Army Battles Global Warming By Going Vegetarian
cold fjord writes "It looks like no more spam, spam, spam for Norway's warriors... at least on Mondays. The Daily Caller reports, 'Norway's military is taking drastic steps to ramp up its war against global warming. The Scandinavian country announced its soldiers would be put on a vegetarian diet once a week to reduce the military's carbon footprint. "Meatless Monday's" has already been introduced at one of Norway's main military bases and will soon be rolled out to others, including overseas bases. It is estimated that the new vegetarian diet will cut meat consumption by 150 tons per year. "It's a step to protect our climate," military spokesman Eystein Kvarving told AFP. "The idea is to serve food that's respectful of the environment." ... The United Nations says that livestock farming is responsible for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting meat consumption, environmentalists argue, would help stem global warming and improve the environment." — The Manchester Journal reports, "The meatless Monday campaign launched in 2003 as a global non-profit initiative in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University to promote personal and environmental health by reducing meat consumption.'"

Typical meaningless symbolism to appease the members of the Green church.
Vegetarianism is a religious choice and it is horrible to see that choice foisted upon people. Usually it is weirdo movie stars or musicians trying to force the crew working on their productions to do this crap; not sensible countries and their militaries. The furthest this should go is to give the soldiers a Vegetarian option and go no further.
This would make sense if Norway wasn't one of the larger oil producers in the world or was suffering from an inability to obtain meat.
Think how far this would fly if they started using Sharia Law in the Military?
If this ever made it as a worldwide initiative, it would quickly come to a halt.
Tomorrow's headline: U.S Invades Norway to halt WMD Production
This week's full-scale U.S. military invasion of Norway comes just days after the CIA provided compelling evidence that Norway was producing WMDs in preparation for world-wide terror strikes. Speaking on condition of anonymity, one CIA source said, "The Rancher and Cattler Union provided compelling imagery from the Cow Cubesat showing missiles of North Korean origin clearly being moved into position to make strikes across continental Europe and the eastern seaboard of the United States."
Asked how the CIA had validated the authenticity of the images, our source said, "We have plenty of folks who know Photoshop backwards and forwards. Trust us."
