Eat more chikin!

A news story on Channel 8 last week caught my attention.  We all remember a few years back when “experts” began to claim that “methane emissions from cows” (aka cow farts) were a significant contributor to global warming.  Well, it took a few years, but finally it’s happened….

Now experts are claiming that we should all significantly reduce or eliminate our consumption of red meat.  The thinking goes (stay with me here, it gets a bit dicey at times):

1)  We eat less red meat….

2)  There is less demand for red meat, thus reducing the amount of cattle raised for slaughter…

3)  With fewer cattle, we get fewer “methane emissions” (cow farts)

ergo…..

4)  We save the ozone layer and reduce global warming!!  Voila!   (AAAAAAHHHH!  sings the heavenly chorus)

And we have just enough time to hang up our cape and change out of our silky spandex red and blue bodysuit before the burgers are done cooking on the grill.  I think Justin Farmer, Channel 8’s midday anchor that day, said it best:  “So methane emissions from cows contribute to global warming.  Guess what?  SO DO WE.”

Touche’.

  1. My Vegan sister would love this news… course if we all stopped having a burger right now, there would be even more cows farting, than if we just kept the conveyour belt running…

    so start up the barby, and start roasting the tri-tip… maybe we can push those bovine into extinction, rather then keeping them alive to stink up the place.
