People need to cut back on burgers because they're contributing to climate change, the United Nations said this week.
The United Nations Environment Program said research shows that Americans eat about three burgers a week, and if one of those was swapped for "a plant-based alternative burger for one year, it would be like taking the greenhouse gases from 12 million cars off the road for a year."
The World Economic Forum blames the beef and dairy industries for churning out more greenhouse gas emissions than oil companies or some countries like Germany. The National Cattlemens Beef Association argued that environmental regulations imposed under the Obama administration were "federal requirements on cattle producers that discourage innovation and impose rigid requirements that do not work on cattle operations and, moreover, defy common sense."

I was thinking pot roast.
The new one at Denny’s is great!
No burger! 32oz. Prime porterhouse.
Hey, UN?
NO!
Cheeseburgers are more sacred to me than any establishment politico has to say.
And after that they go out for their steak dinner.
Porterhouse? Now I’m seriously hungry!
Cheeseburgers are great.
Now I want a side order of gravy fries or chili fries.
Or onion rings. Or tater tots.
Dang, I just ate a double quarter pounder two days ago. I’ve had my gutbomb for the month already...
What a pity.
FOAD
Just went to “In & Out” and tomorrow it’s Five Guys...
A double quarter pounder!?????!!!????
You destroyed the world!!!!! /aaaaaaahhhhhhh /liberal rant
Just sittin’ here shakin’ my head. Can’t believe what’s going on, and now this.
I support this....And just consumed a Wendy’s double cheese burger.

Well, the liberals voted for Obama.
Is anything a surprise after that? As we both know, no, there isn’t. They mine the depths of stupidity.
Reading this in the drive thru at In-N-Out.
I’m jealous.
The U.N. hates Americans and hates the U.S.A. in general. How else to analyze this fake allegation?
China currently eats more meat products than other nations combined. They have several times our population, and import beef and pork from around the world. Yes, the Chinese eat more beef than us! Tell the Chinese to cut back eating burgers if you are serious about curtailing air pollution from raising cattle. China gets away with everything while the U.S.A. is made the scapegoat for the world's supposed problems.
It's China that causes pollution!

I know both of you will want to do your part to help out the United Nations in this great cause.
:)
To do my part to further the theory of global climate extemporanea, i would gladly and gloriously consume my last steakburger, with onion r
ings, bacon, and gouda cheese, with a homemade sauce, on a fresh baked seeded bun, in the year 2051!
