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."..

what I learned in High School...”ENERGY can be neither created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical change.”

So where is this build up of Energy coming from that will give us GLO-BULL warming?

They should also ground all their aircraft, switch their navy back to sails only, move their troops and equipment by horse-drawn carriage, and equip all soldiers with lances, crossbows and swords. Not consuming fuel and gunpowder will have a far larger effect on the “climate change” than stuffing their soldiers full of veggies.

The idea is to get experience serving food to your soon-to-be muzzie overlords, and btw, they're not eating vegetarian.

Meanwhile, across the mountains...
