The fart chart. How cows are hurting our environment.
Eating less meat and using less dairy products might be the responsible thing to do.
Fort the chart, go here:
http://www.milkprocon.org/cow_emissions_table.html
The emissions released by cows during milk production may be creating enough environmental pollution to negatively affect human health which is why we've decided to include dairy cow emissions in our research into Milk ProCon.org's core question "Is drinking milk healthy for humans?"
The chart below contains the number of dairy cows in the U.S. in 2001 and the estimated state by state dairy cow emission levels for chemicals that have been studied for their role/s in contributing to air and water pollution, negative human health effects, and/or global warming.
What about a study of state-by-state primitive emissions?
Now, that would be enlightening.

7. This could be especially nice, as it's quite a bit about diary, not just beef.

8. Good point.
Can I also point out how unhealthy dairy is?
You know, the looney mom primitive reminds me of someone who, as a kid, protested and temper-tantrummed at the dinner-table because she was forced to drink healthy wholesome milk, when she wanted to drink teeth-destroying sugar-laden soda instead.
I find that a pretty common experience in most anti-milkists.

14. Very true.
And it basically drives the veal industry.
And the rape racks! Horrors for the animals.

2. The older I get, the more I appreciate non-meat options
I've even lifted my lifelong ban on trail mix and have a few ounces for dinner each night.
Stupid weed.

5. I quit beef 4.5 years ago, and been the better for it ...
... not only does the beef industry contribute to global warming, it increases oil depletion, and exhausts grain supplies, which are decreasing already.
Never mind how much the primitives contribute to global warming, use up gasoline, and chow down overmuch.

6. We just need to fit their asses with filters
Or kill em a little younger, maybe 1 week earlier than normal - think about how many less farts we would have to put up with over time.

10. Collector tanks. When full, use the methane to power generators.
One suspects one can fuel a vehicle for 5,000 miles on the gas expelled by the Bostonian Drunkard and the skumbag primitive, IanDB1. One wouldn't want to be seated next to either one on an airplane, for example, or in a small room with one of them.

11. Or cars! We just pull to a cows ass, insert tube, and fill up
And get some milk when done. Then eat it.

17. Seriously, there has been a solution found for this. The methane emitted from the cattle is used as energy.

19. Actually, this is CH4 produced from cow *manure* in an anaerobic digester ...
considerably easier to collect manure than flatus.
Interesting Web site, though!
(Now you've got me thinking about ways to trap CH4 from dairy air ... hmmm ... hmmm ... )
I dunno.
I've never noticed any particular odor emanating from dairy farms, even though franksolich has a sensitive nose.
However, the reason I quit going to Boston in the summertime, and go only in the deadest of winter, is because of the stench of dead fish and human sewage that overhangs the place as if a poisonous cloud that never goes away. When Boston is cold, the odor isn't there.

21. Pig farmers are doing just that. In India they use manure for energy.

20. Kill all the cows...problem solved.
Oh my. The cyanide primitive forgot to dine on something fibrous today, and is all clogged up.

Eating meat was an evolutionary move up the ladder. To stop would be to regress to 4ft tall quasi-apes with no vocalization and brains 1/4 the size of ours. It amazes me that these people who hold such hatred for religion and there by grasp evolutionism can't remember that.

All animals fart, why are they picking on cows?

The leftymom and flvegan are 'engaged to be married'....that is why she always backs him up in whatever he says. They both are vegans and PETA primitives. :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser:

Does this mean those "after dinner mints" Freeper used to serve me were really Gas-X? :thatsright:

I watched "Dirty Jobs" last week and Mike was on a monster dairy farm, 32,000 milk cows and 25,000 acres. The entire farm was powered by methane which came from the manure. As far as dairy products being bad for you I say bullshit. Unless you are allergic or don't know what moderation is dairy is not going to hurt you.
DUmmies are like stampeding turkeys, someone says BOO and they all run in the same direction....Cows are evil! diary is evil!...it's Bush's fault...the world is ending...... :ohnoes:

I'd say that your second sentence describes the average DUmb**** rather accurately . . .

I saw that one...boy, that was a LOT of poop.
I didn't eat red meat for almost a decade until I got pregnant. Then, all I wanted was bacon cheeseburgers. Turns out...I was anemic! Funny how that works. At any rate, I'm back to being a red meat eater. Mmmmm, steak.
That being said...how long until one of them blames the BFEE for this? Or did it happen and I missed it?
http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm (http://www.westonaprice.org/splash_2.htm) These people are just as nutty as the moonbats, in some respects. But I totally agree with them on the soy! Soy is for Sissies!

'Zackly. Like vast land-carpeting herds of buffalo, or caribou and mastodons before them, took Beano? I don't think so.

Because DUmmies are animals and act like the kid in grammar school that's rips a big stinky one and points to someone else. Blame all the foul air on something else.
I'm doing my part to rid this planet of cows. I drink all the milk and eat all the beef I can afford. :-)

If God had not wanted us to eat animals he would not have made them out of meat.

I don't know about that. The older I get the tastier endangered species start to look. Do you think I can get a Panda Ribeye in China? Never mind, the probably use cat just like the Chinese restaurants do here.
