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.

Home grilling is much worse than commercial grilling....the smell of burning rubber and hair!...it's just impossible to enjoy the diesel fumes from the local Truck-O-Burgers joint.

Can we run our cars off of it ?

Obama will direct the EPA to issue an administrative directive outlawing, not only burgers, but also pastrami sandwiches.

HEY, not my pastrami.

“Both options are probably preferrable to cremation.”

Especially if you’re still alive...

Well it’s all speculation. We can never be sure without a governmant funded study.

Wait until they study what’s emitted from the common pine tree... There’s a reason large pine forests can look smoggy when the air is still for awhile...

Our next door neighbor drives a school bus. Guess what odor comes into my bedroom at 7 am?

I'll take the air pollution from "In & Out Burger" over a diesel engine anytime!

[Thud]

CARB has got to ban burger joints and outdoor gas grills to Save The Planet!

Or at least ban them in the San Joaquin Valley.

ok, when will it be illegal to cook food?

It's how the Blue Ridge and the Smokies got their names.

“Or at least ban them in the San Joaquin Valley.”
Funny you said that. This rule was a actually proposed in 2009, CARB had to back down then.
CARB Never Sleeps

>>Somewhere, right now, is cabal of ultra-wealthy folks saying, “Yeah! We want the whole damn place (planet) for ourselves!”

That is the heart of the whole false Left-Right paradigm: a group of elites deciding how the masses will go into slavery so they can reduce our numbers to what they need to serve them.

“Either way, we’re living in a world (where) we’re still going through pollution. But the difference is we are getting some type of benefit from (the burger),” said Maria Segura.”

Yer right, Maria. No benefit at all from all of those trucks rollin’ around. With the price of diesel so low these days, I’ll bet 98% of those trucks are empty and the drivers are just bombing around for the heck of it. Geez ...
