Full title: FIRST THE GREEN GESTAPO CAME FOR OUR LIGHTBULBS, THEN OUR ICED DRINKS AND HOT SHOWERS. NOW THEY'RE AFTER OUR MEATBALLS...
A truly emetic announcement from the grim but indispensable Swedish flatpack furniture emporium IKEA: they are considering changing the recipe of their most popular food line - meatballs - in order to help save the world from global warming. Says the company's head of sustainability Joanna Yarrow: "We have been working with WWF looking at meatballs and various other food items that we sell and looking at how we can tweak our recipes to give great taste but also perhaps less of an environmental impact. I can assure you that getting that recipe adjusted will have a real cumulative impact."

One Sheet Sheryl. There’s someone I would definitely not shake hands with!
Well that’s a comforting thought.
We are so silly! Now we want to control cow flatulence! Sheesh!
Their grass fed organic beef is great.
What is to stop the US Government to someday effectively ban meat eating? Much of what happens in this country depends on what California dictates.
They never give up. Never think they will be satisfied with the latest offering. They want total control over everything.
Trust this.. Next they are coming for your Balls.. Don't you dare laugh.. :)
“vegballs”
No, nada. That sounds too much like...prarie oysters. I can’t write what I really mean if you get my drift.
~Or I’ve had too much wine with dinner. I really need to stick to bourbon.
In free markets, cheaper is the most honest indicator of how much total energy was consumed and therefore pollution created in production and distribution. Cheaper is usually greener, although cheaper might not be something you want pumping through your non-renewable blood veins.
Ikea probably does not make any money off their food court. They use it as a food reward to train you like a monkey. That's why these stores always put their monkey chow at the end.
