A hereditary peer has questioned whether flatulence caused by the country’s high consumption of baked beans is adding to global warming.

Viscount Simon, 73, a Labour peer who has been a member of the House of Lords for more than 20 years, raised concerns about the “smelly emissions”.

"So different" indeed.

What a gas bag!!!

Isn’t is the same leftists who are vegetarians and think we should eat more beans and less meat, who are also the environmentalists concerned about GHG emissions? What do they want from us?

[Know et al]

That's it! I'm not eating baked beans any more. I'm switching to boiled cabbage.

Since Heinz has a major share of the baked beans market in the UK, they’ll probably be a corporate target for some sort of climate tax.

Banning one of the worlds cheapest, most plentiful and healthiest food products will do for world hunger what banning DDT did for Malaria.

Ping.

And thus, what would have been a great Monty Python skit in 1970 continues to appear as reality today.

Brits eat beans almost every day for breakfast.
If it is blowing up the ozone layer, it will start there first.

South Devon livestock farmer Richard Haddock said: “Meat eaters produce less gas than vegetarians

There you have the proof.

Time to incarcerate those vegetarian deniers. Off with their heads.

What???? Do you want to kill us all??????

Boiled cabbage produces (for me at least) flatus that emits a stench 10X that of beans.

Beans, beans the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot.

Will the FiberOne line of foods garner some attention soon?

This is SO racist.

From my cold, dead hands.....

We read a thread here a week or so ago indicating that the average person poots 13 to 21 times per day.

I went to bed early that night, popped one off and shouted to wifey "One!"....and she countered with, "It's not midnight yet, so that one is off-quota".
