Why? They are woke, too.

All of them have been white-shaming openly. It’s disgusting.

“Well, I just at a Burger King Whopper for lunch and I didn’t fart ...... do I get some sort of prize for that?”

Don’t know. Consult your proctologist.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture sector made up 9.9% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2018,

Total bullshit!

Manure lagoons ... cringe-worthy.

I wonder why no one has called out the environmentalists for the unsustainable use of irrigation water for all their veggies and nuts? The same amount of water for one can of almonds could water 6 dairy cows.

I had family that lived in Dalhart. No matter which way the wind was blowing, you could smell a feed lot. In Lubbock, we only smelled it after a cold front.

Dear Burger King,
Please don’t change the cows’ diet. That will change the taste of your burgers! (especially if you feed them lemon grass, for goodness’ sakes)

Here is a quick easy solution to your problem that will leave your nice burgers tasting Good!...

Farmers/Ranchers and feedlots have been doing this for years.

Through rations of more carbohydrates, Genetics and even carbon credit schemes.

Nothing new here, just a marketing campaign.

A cow’s feed efficiency has increased greatly in the past 40 years.

I should add...

Change the feed, you change the microbes in the rumen. And it is certain microbes which increase methane production

Good point... So do the new microbes emit a different gas? Ethane perhaps !

“Manure lagoons ... cringe-worthy.”

City people cannot fathom how much poop 4000 cows produce in just one day

I heard it’s one pound of manure per pound of milk produced. So ... could be over 100 pounds per day per cow.

That’s a lot of compost ;-)
