Here’s Why Bacon And Sausage Are Banned At This Hotel Chain

A Nowegeian hotel group is getting rid of bacon and sausage from its hotel menus. Turns out they’re trying to encourage more healthier eating habits in their locations, Fox News reports.

The Nordic Choice hotel group has more than 170 locations (Quality hotels, Comfort hotels, Clarion hotels) scattered throughout Scandinavia and the Baltics. The Comfort Hotel chain, specifically, will no longer feature bacon or sausage. Rather, they’ll be replaced with plant-based options.

Sustainability is said to be the major reason behind the change, said Nordic Choice’s owner Petter Stordalen.

While the pork-less changes will only be on a trial basis, opinions are split behind the lighter more sustainable menu. A spokesman for the Comfort Hotel chain says that they want their guests to start the day off with healthier options.

This isn’t the first time Stordalen has made a radical business decision when it comes to health. He told Vice that his hotels were also the first in the world to ban smoking.

Not sure how we feel about this one. One of the main reasons we stay at a hotel is to indulge. Especially if they have a breakfast buffet.
