No I like my Beef and Milk, apparently its the Cows Farting that does damage to the planet not their breathing.

The answer lies in the grass.. :wink: They've developed several feed strains and additives that reduce 'gas' output and modern feed sheds also have scrubbers fitted to the ventilation systems to further reduce emissions.. It's not either or, it's a matter of compromise to find the best solutions for now.. imo of course.. Then there are faecal transplants and stomach-windows that open and close.. Lots going on with gut microbes these days.. :grin: :grin:

That was my understanding too.

Cows are bad for the planet in many ways...

Save the planet. Eat lentils.

If all we can eat are lentils (load of rubbish, anyway) I doubt the planet will be saved and I wonder if it is worth saving!

You won't be living longer but it'll sure as hell feel like you are.

My father used to come up in goosebumps and shiver if anybody mentioned lentils.

We are both right, Cows have more than one stomach they emit Methane at both ends they Fart and Burp Methane as do sheep, goats, pigs and chickens

Apparently Humans produce large amounts of Methane, get rid of Baked Beans and Sprouts that should help
