Quote:Oslo — The Norwegian military said Tuesday it plans to put its troops on a vegetarian diet once a week in a bid to fight a new kind of enemy -- climate change.

The army said its new meatless Mondays are meant to cut its consumption of ecologically unfriendly foods whose production contributes heavily to global warming.

"It's a step to protect our climate. The idea is to serve food that's respectful of the environment," spokesman Eystein Kvarving told AFP.

The diet has already been introduced at one of Norway's main bases and will soon be rolled out to all units, including those serving overseas, said the army, estimating it would cut its meat consumption by 150 tonnes per year.

"It's not about saving money," said Kvarving. "It's about being more concerned for our climate, more ecologically friendly and also healthier."..

For a sneak preview of where the slippery slope of unchecked liberalism is leading. I wonder how long before the Russians show up?

I guess is any nation wants to attack Norway the prime time to do it is a Monday evening.

Nah. By Monday evening they will all be so p!ssed off that they didn't get any meat, it would be like fighting Tigers. Hell, by Monday evening they might even resort to cannibalizing those they vanquished.

Which reminds me of school lunches - remember when in every school, there was a day when a green glob of cooked spinach was on the plate - and EVERYONE tossed it in the garbage. Wonder if they serve that to the Norwegian Troops?

They may be pissed off, but they will be so lethargic they wound't put up much of a fight.

My guess is the troops aren't to thrilled about "Veggie Mondays".

I'm thinking you're right.

An attack right after Thanksgiving dinner would probably work as well - I'm so sleepy after that gorging I'm not sure I'm capable of fight.

Rest assured, there is a few Norwegian troops sneaking a Kjottkaker late at night.

Does PETA know that Norway hates animals?

I think the only relevant question here is whether they will have to eat their veggie dinners with chopsticks?

Neat! A solider eating an environmentally friendly meatless meal while wearing leather boots.

If they won't kill cows, who will they kill?

If they won't burn dead dinosaurs, what would they burn?

Of course, it is ******* Norway...

So, in theory, cutting meat will lead to more cows, etc roaming Norway producing more methane which will harm the atmosphere. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. lol

Just more cows for us evil carnivores.

Lethargy? How would a 1 day a week meal make someone lethargic...?
