Nordic Choice Hotel Group has taken sausage and bacon off the breakfast menu at its Comfort-branded hotels in Sweden. Reportedly swayed by his “environmental campaigner” wife, company owner Petter Stordalen has introduced a new green, healthy menu.
The menu, which was developed in collaboration with Dr. Gunhild Stordalen’s EAT Food Forum, offers healthy, plant-based alternatives. In addition to removing sausage and bacon, the menu has also been stripped of any cereals or cheese that include palm oil in an effort to reduce the destruction of the rainforest.
The new menu comes on the heels of the World Health Organization’s October report linking the consumption of processed animal meat to colon cancer.
