Pork

In Malmö town in the south of Sweden, they have a strange rule. This rule says that if the town buys food for its employees at a conference or the like, all food must be vegan or vegetarian. This makes me feel sorry for the vast majority of the employees, who have a normal diet and eat meat.


Recently, there was a mistake made at a conference with the town. The restaurant made a mistake and served meatballs made of pork, instead of vegan mock meatballs. In the news, it has been reported that this was very traumatic for the vegetarians, vegans, or the muslims among the employees, none of whom would eat pork if they had had a choice. I believe the news reporters should also interview some of the employees with normal eating habits. They must have been satisfied with the food. 


Pork is tasty and healthy food. I do not understand why anybody would chose not to eat it, even though I do respect their choices. At the same time, maybe someone acquired a taste for it through this mistake. There would be a happy news story worth reporting.
