Friends, are you suffering from anxiety caused by the major problem of today: climate change? Well, your troubles are now over as the climate will stop changing thanks to Burger King's concern over amount of methane gas its cows emit. (There are cruder terms using simpler words for this process, but hey, we're wholesome.)
Discovering that merely adding a bit of lemongrass to their diet reduces cow methane gas production, concerned Burger King executives altered the herds' diet, introducing their Reduced Methane Emissions Beef Whopper in select restaurants yesterday. This special Whopper will soon be available at a Burger King near you, promise the green executives.
The chain has rebalanced the diet of some of the cows by adding lemon grass in a bid to limit bovines contributions to climate change. By tweaking their diet, Burger King said Tuesday that it believes it can reduce a cows' daily methane emissions by about 33%.
Cows emit methane as a by-product of their digestion, and that has become a potential public relations hurdle for major burger chains.
Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Of that amount, methane emissions from livestock (called enteric fermentation) comprised more than a quarter of the emissions from the agriculture sector.
Yeah, the air smells fresher already, meaning that the climate has slowly stopped changing, so most of my worries will soon be gone.
Yours, too?
Now, don't you feel better already?

Lemongrass Beef Burger.
Hey, have it your way...
I’ll be adding lemon grass to my husband’s chili. Count on it!
I want my fart burger
Hey BK! if you are so woke, just stop selling meat.
They pretty much already have.
I wonder do the cows actually eat the lemon grass? Its great for flavoring in lots of recipes, but you dont actually eat it as far as I knew...
You just need to find a kid who has ass burgers.
Climate change problem? Does not compute.
Now is a Whopper is gonna taste like Thai food?
sounds like bull Stuff to me
Lemon grass is great, if you juice it. It can be part of everybody’s diet.
Now this is the free market at work. The Energy Star program got started in the ‘90s, and one of the early targets were computer monitors. In those days, the way to reduce energy consumption besides (the screen turning itself off during periods of supposed inactivity) was to reduce brightness, which makes for a worse monitor.
So here are all these companies trying to make Energy Star compliance with their CRTs, but shortly after the program started, the tubes that could burn 100+ watts easily were replaced with 25 watt LCD screens that far surpassed the most ambitious Energy Star goals, making a better monitor in many other ways as well for most uses, though initially more expensive. Energy Star did not make that. Monitor companies that wanted a bigger piece of the action and more profits did.
Burger King lost my business when they made a rainbow themed Pride Whopper. When this is over, I may be down to ma and pa shops for patronage. But if they want to beat their chests over low methane cows that’s fine. It’s not like fast food beef gets a great diet anyway, so I doubt it will hurt the taste or quality of the beef.

HAHAHAHA!!! I needed a laugh today! Thank you.
Burger King higher ups came into town here about two weeks ago, handed out checks to all the employees , boarded up the place, locked the doors and shut down. Thats how you get rid of THEIR problem. Apparently the beefless burger that is high in female hormones didn’t do the trick either
1st shark...What was that?
2nd shark...Relax its just Burger King jumping us ...AGAIN!
This to me is far better than lab grown “meat” or “plant based meat,” which are just reconstituted soybeans or peas.
I’ve grown lemon grass, it’s a pretty plant when full grown and easy to care for where I live. I have harvested it and used it in cooking.
If a little in a diet makes a natural difference, fine. I still don’t get the methane obsession.
