A UC Riverside study found that commercially cooked hamburgers cause more air pollution than diesel trucks.
The study, which focused on commercial charbroilers found in burger restaurants, said the equipment generates grease, smoke, water vapors and combustion products, which emit a large amount of particulate matter into the air.

Carbonated Beverages account for over 42% of all the CO2 released in the atmosphere yearly, and over 300,000 metric tonnes per day. An estimated 50,000 deaths per year are directly related to that.This human generated CO2 destroying the planet is a bunch of BS just to transfer wealth anyway.
The day will come when individuals will have to pay a breathing tax.

When they outlaw burgers only outlaws will have burgers. You can put me in that group.

You can have my burger spatula when you pry it from my cold, dead, beer stained fingers.

Did anybody think these asshats would stop at outlawing smoking in bars?

But it smells a whole lot better than a diesel truck. The smell is one thing but have you ever tried eating a diesel truck?

Burning corn for fuel is the biggest waste of money in the history of the world.
Lisa Jackson at the EPA gets all wet thinking about Ethanol.

Ok, so how does a burial by cremation compare with a diesel truck and a burger? I’ll bet a burn’t human creates even more pollution than a grilled burger.
OTOH I would say the burger would be the better choice if you were hungry, while the diesel truck would be the better choice if you needed to go somewhere. Both options are probably preferrable to cremation.

Does college research that burns thru federal grant money count as air pollution?

“Both options are probably preferrable to cremation.”
Especially if you’re still alive...

Not here, and about the only time they will stop making laws is when they completely outlaw living, and even then they probably won't stop.
