Less methane, more tasty!

Aussies suggest eating kangaroos could reduce greenhouse gasses!

Hmmm, kangaroos don't f*rt, who knew?

Thanks, my day's now complete.

Well, there goes MY incentive to burp and fart less. All it gets you is to the dinner plate!

Mainly a problem for vegetarians - methane comes from rotting vegetation. What with all the farting ungelates and volcanic eruptions, our human greenhouse emissions must be like a mere pi$$ in the ocean (to mix metaphors) :mrgreen:

Gosh I learn a lot on this forum... Anyone else notice fart threads don't veer much? :roll:

Does anyone else see how backwards this logic is? If they fart less, shouldn't we eat the animals that are causing problems?

 

[jcwu]

The logic is, we need to breed/raise whatever we eat, so if we ate more kangaroos and less beef, we'd be raising animals that produce less gas.

At least, that's what I think the logic is..

What happens if you let the 'roos drink Old Fart?

Clearly. I was only cracking a joke. On a more serious note, I wonder how the 'roos would react to feedlots. I prefer range animals myself for a plethora of reasons, but sadly most food production is done in the most compact medium possible.

I think they would be fine with it, unless you were able to get them to understand the end result. :shock:

Somewhere in past posts is a pic of a Bovine, personal methane, recovery system. Might have been an Aussie or New Zealand project, it's a gem.

Meanwhile, our Tejas Brothers are on "On It"

Might need one of their Toot Booths in Arlington, 'specially if we do the Mexican thing again. :shock:

Doh! There I go... Captain Obvious strikes again!

No worries. I have a horrible arrid (or perhaps acrid) sense of humor.
