Burger King Introduces 'Reduced Methane Emissions' Whopper as It Changes Cows' Diets Amid Climate Change

So it seems they're just test-marketing in a few places .. for now. ( * edited to add link to the "vulgarity sprinkled" video :lol: ) . |
Do any of them have plant-based burgers that increase the methane emissions of their customers?
|
Imagine that! You feed a cow grass and it improves their digestion!
|
Yes grass!
Honestly, I raise cattle and have never, ever heard one cow pass gas, but they eat almost a 100 diet of grass. Although not lemon grass like the article talks about, but still, grass.... I don't think they're factoring in the cost and effort to raise the lemon grass in the first place. Nothing like factory farms that are feeding grains so that must be the culpret. |
It's almost like every species should be eating what they evolved to digest!

If we all made an effort to eat nothing but 100% grass-fed beef, we wouldn't have the methane problem.
The feed lot is the reason for the cow burps and farts, plus it's the reason why beef is so water intensive and why the corn fed beef is less healthy. 100% grass-fed is a bit more expensive, but I'll do without something else to be healthier and fight global warming. Bob |
I'll be brief. First, to even confirm there's a "methane problem" caused by livestock, the underlying science must be accurate. It's not. Similar to the "science" behind the CVD blood lipid theory, it's a weak hypothesis at best and its degree of impact has been refuted by various sources. I'll stop here, as it's borderline political, something I abhor. I continue to remain a science skeptic.
