Seaweed-Eating Cows Burp Less Methane into Our Atmosphere

I'd like to ask you one last time. Conduct yourselves with the utmost maturity.

[Mr. Blond]

But the milk tastes fishy.

[DannyTN]

Does that work for sushi eaters?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

How crazy can these people get? Crazy enough to worry about cow burps? And they imagine that it will melt the North Pole? Yep.

[Jamestown1630]

I wonder how that makes the meat taste.

[Rebelbase]

IIRC, there are herds of cattle on the Pacific coast of South America that eat seaweed washed up on the beach.

[Jamestown1630]

We used to hate the milk when the cows got into onion grass.

I can’t imagine what this will be like...

(But I guess they think we should all drink Almond Milk, or somesuch...)

[GILTN1stborn]

Bullshit

[DeFault User]

What’s wrong with Beano?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

I tried taking a kelp supplement many years ago. Made me terribly gassy. So not believing this.

Seriously way past time we reign in these federal grant programs. Who the hell has the idea to research what types of food produce the least bovine flatulence?

[ocrp1982]

Just how bat shit crazy must one be to even investigate such a thing? At taxpayer expense of course.
Did the study bother to critically monitor the overall health of the cattle fed this diet? What about the taste of the beef in comparison to the natural diet of cattle of grass and grains? My take is if God intended for cattle to eat seaweed he would have provided them a proclivity to do so.

[DoodleBob]

While the article was clearly written from an environmentalist's perspective, I was proud of the writer for recognizing the unintended consequence of going all-in on seaweed.

As for stupid research getting funded, this is one of the less stupid ones I've seen.

[DoodleBob]

Tastes like chicken.

[fidelis]

”I tried taking a kelp supplement many years ago. Made me terribly gassy. So not believing this.”

Then again, unlike a cow, you don’t have two stomachs.

[DoodleBob]

Our FRiend mentioned such cows exist in South America. Has anyone done a taste test?

[monkeyshine]

It may be one of the less stupid ones you’ve seen. But anyone who has lived say, 10 years or so, could have told you the answer. Feed mammals beans, they have indigestion. Feed them greens, less so.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Who cares? Maybe other cows?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“I wonder how that makes the meat taste.”

I’ll go out on a limb here and say “not chicken.”

[ocrp1982]

Not me. Perhaps someone could interview the 10’s of thousands crossing our southern border?
