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."..

One day a week? If it is such a great idea why not seven days a week?
WE DISOWN YOU
1) I'd be surprised if it wasn't, at least in part, about saving money.
2) Norwegians are already concerned about the climate. The main concern is that its freezing cold.
3) Vegetarian food is not automatically healthier. This is a casual assertion that people like Kvarving make that needs to be challenged continously, otherwise it becomes "true" because everyone "knows" it is true.
Did you really have to use the phrase "blow back"?
“Norwegians are already concerned about the climate. The main concern is that its freezing cold.”
You are SO right! There is much evidence that we are entering a mini ice age.
I predict that restaurants just outside military bases will suddenly get a rush of business once a week. Even if they charge premium prices.
I would hate to be the guy issued with a flame thrower...
Gives new meaning to the word ..Draft
you will be able to smell them before they attack..
A great indicator of the loony-leftism now dominating Scandinavian society.
Much worse is their determination that it’s somehow racist and unfair to have a successful society made up of Norwegians.
To be cosmically “fair,” they must import millions of Muslims who HATE Norwegian society, and love to rape Norwegian girls.
Insanity.
just feed them lutefisk on that day and tell them it is vegetarian....;)
It sounds like it’s from “the Onion”, but no....I first came across this in The Independent, from the U.K., but that’s an unpostable source, so I shopped around for an outlet I could quote.
Exactly- I keep wishing the north sea wells would DRY UP!
They can then go back to eating Cod- and raiding
England in their Viking ships!—
Maybe that’s why they are getting their soldiers
use to veggies? LOL
The eco-nuts are insane.
You’re being redundant. :)
Drive off base for meat and blood pudding?
...and Tuesdays will be gun-free day on the battlefield. That should be good for further savings down the road.
`All prices in Norway are “premium”.’
But you receive a government subsidy if you agree to eat lutefisk?
Quisling Lives!
