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 Cattlemen’s 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."

To be fair, it said one hamburger per week for a year.
So, 52 hamburgers equals 12 million cars off the road.
Environmentalists must be tracking my emissions after eating at McDonald's.
Rings, tots, fries.
Yes, please.
Ronald McD. getting offed by Burger King still cracks me up.
I guess waffle fries, too. And curly fries.
Crinkle cut are my favorite. Culver’s? (Midwest may be where they are found the most)
But Spicy Ketchup at Whataburger.
Oh darn. Made the United Nations sad.
Be very careful when you wake up!!

This was after BK was bought by the French (IIRC).
I don’t think they understood Americans very well (obviously).
Steak or curly fries but most are ok.
I will use ketchup but prefer mayo or tartar sauce. I don’t know why.
Go 75/25, 50/50, or 25/75 with your mayo and ketchup, once in awhile.

KFC had some good potato wedges back when they had their small $5 combo. Used to hit the drive-thru on lunch once in awhile. It brought me back as a customer.
Boy that was a long time ago. Back in the pre-Obama days.
You know, when decent-paying jobs were reasonably-plentiful.
Didn’t they want us to eat bugs last week?
One hamburger. Fifty two hamburgers. Oh well. I’ll eat as many as I can to do my part in the Earth burning up. :)

Excuse the double post. Should have been wearing my glasses and a few less beers.
How about we cut off all the food aid to every country. They won’t eat and we can still enjoy our hamburgers.
I’m going to have an extra burger tonight - and skip the salad I had planned.
In the spirit of co-operation i’ll do the same with my dodge 3500 dually 4x4 V-10.:)
Ate two cheeseburgers today.
I’m such a horrible person...
