Dellers in excellent form!

 

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."

"On methane…we are aware of the meat issue with greenhouse gases. We are looking at all our food products from a sustainability perspective but specifically meatballs. They are very popular and they are also our most carbon-intensive food item on our menu."

IKEA – the place you go to, reluctantly, because the furniture is so cheap and practical, not because you want to save the planet for Mother Gaia – actually employs a "head of sustainability"? If that’s not a strong dump signal for the stock, I don’t know what is.

What’s worse, though, is that IKEA actually admits to allowing the kind of food it serves in its restaurants to be dictated not by the needs of its customers – who order 150 million plates of meatballs every year – but by activists from a hard-left environmental NGO like the World Wildlife Fund. That’s not capitalism. That’s not customer service. That’s eco fascism.

This is not, of course, the first time that the democratically unaccountable political activists of the WWF have been invited to meddle where they have absolutely business whatsoever. From the Climategate emails, for example, we learn that in July 29, 1999, Adam Markham of the WWF wrote to University of East Anglia climate scientists Mike Hulme and Nicola Sheard, gently suggesting that they skew their scientific findings in accordance with the WWF’s alarmist campaigning narrative.

"I’m sure you will get some comments direct from Mike Rae in WWF Australia, but I wanted to pass on the grist of what they’ve said to me so far. They are worried that this may present a slightly more conservative approach to the risks than they are hearing from Australian scientists. In particular, they would like to see the section on variability and extreme events beefed up if possible."

    I take it these bovine fartpacks will become essential Green fashion accessories, as crocodile-skin handbags used to be.

    In-depth studies, carried out over the last 45 seconds, confirm there is a direct link between the climate and politics.

    Both climate and politics change over time !! A fact confirmed in the afore mentioned in-depth study.

    “Man” is the main cause of all political change, therefore “Man” is the main cause of climate change.

    The climate is seen as a problem if a particular political party is in power, whereas there is no problem at all to be see with the climate if the opposite party is at the helm.

    So, the simplest way to solve any climate problems is to keep that party “who see no problems”, in power.

    Not only will this save the Earth from certain destruction, it will save a lot of money in the national budget as there’ll be no need for climate science committees, reports, analysis, action etc.

    Prior to the 45 second in-depth study, a cartoon was created, which may, or may not, conflict with the theme of the above summary.

    That climate change cartoon is here . . . . . . . .

    “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.

    With the WWF global stretch we should get even better tasting MEATballs.
    WWF advising then make mine panda, baby seal, and manatee or white rhino, pygmy elephant, and tapir.
    VegetableBalls are made of vegetable matter of an undetermined age and type; they taste only of the water they were washed in.

    What’s the betting on the incidences of food poisoning rising after the change?

    Perhaps Joanna Yarrow isn’t aware that the animals that fart methane and are then turned into Ikea meatballs produced their farts and meat by eating co2 that had been converted into plant growth. Perhaps she has flat packed her brain and can no longer make full use of it.

    ”meatballs crap” must be written by extreme vegetarians – they don’t want other people to enjoy themselves eating good / tasty food… human is omnivore

    methane is definitely NOT a greenhouse gas: Have look this post: http://globalwarmingdenier.wordpress.com/methane-ch4/
