WeWork is banning meat
CNN Money ^ | July 13, 2018 | Sara Ashley O'Brien

WeWork is going meat-free and taking every one of its employees with it.

The startup cited environmental concerns in announcing its immediate company-wide ban on meat. In an email sent Thursday, WeWork cofounder Miguel McKelvey told his 6,000 or so employees the company will no longer serve meat at employee events or reimburse them for meals that include red meat, poultry and pork.

It's a bold move for the real estate behemoth believed to be worth $20 billion -- and the most assertive in a series of recent steps large companies have taken to promote sustainability.

“Can you bring it into the office yourself or is that forbidden?”

Reheating last night’s leftover beef stew in the company breakroom microwave leaves savory flavors floating in the air.

We Work is a co-working space. They’d be banning their paying customers.

Don’t know what “work” is but I envision being struck in cubicles 8 straight.

Can’t imagine, as a young man, working from sunrise to sunset on the farm, and coming home to a “healthy” meal of celery and tofu.

Just can’t.

Fine, Soyboys, Means more red meat for REAL men who fo REAL: man labour.

Will they have mandatory testing (like for pot) to see if employees might have done some weekend grilling ?

As a potential business deal and as a consumer

I always view this sort of mindset with professional skepticism and would rarely do business with these types

If they’re that messed up over THIS, then would you really want to do business with THAT?

Good, more bacon for me.

I’m guessing they also ban wearing crosses and having MAGA stickers on employees’ cars.

Tons of toxic sewage and waste is dumped daily into our biosphere, without any regulations or controls… it often pretends to be “science”, “economic justice”, “fairness” and “equality”. In reality it destroys real science, liberty, faith and spirit, replacing them with the parasite of poisoned ideology. This septic mixture like a pathogen causes painful symptoms… as it creates and cultivates discontent, hopelessness, frustration, anger and even violence in the heart and mind of all those it infects. Early signs are always blaming others for any shortcomings one encounters and freaking out hearing any views but their own.

Another sign of infection is the encouragement of failure and punishing of success. It also demands one surrender their sacred liberty birthright and submit to global overlords... rationing and controlling every aspect of our now miserable lives… mandating what we eat, what we drive, how we live and what we’re permitting to think and believe. As tyranny directed by a ruling (self-appointed) select few… is the only “answer” to “save” the planet. Ole Serpent smiles!

Oh, mairzy doats and dozy doats and little lambsy divey

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey.
Say, “Mares eat oats and does eat oats

and little lambs eat ivy.”

Apparently, they don't teach close reading (or precise writing) there anymore.

As far as I can tell, the ivy league schools no longer admit applicants based on academic merit, so being able to understand English is not a criterion for acceptance.

They won’t be handing out straws either.

Did you see the news that in eliminating plastic straws, Starbucks is actually using MORE plastic than if they had continued using plastic straws? Useless virtue signalling.

There is a reason humans have ‘canine teeth’.

Probably dismiss the Ten Commandments as too restrictive.
