REPORTS OF CATTLE AND THEIR GAS EXAGGERATED

A chemist from the university of California, Dr. Frank Mitloeher, said in a speech that Extreme green claims that we should not eat meat because cattle are a leading cause of greenhouse gas is false. He discussed flaws in the methodology of those making the claims. I also have interviewed a dairy farmer in Oregon who disputes those claims. In fact, he said that most, if not all, dairy farmers feed the cattle supplements (sort of like humans taking Tums) which cause the cattle to not pass gas. The reason? He stated that when cows are gassy they cannot produce as much milk. He says that it was a particular problem when the cows ate fresh green grass. Sort of like humans eating cabbage and then being socially unacceptable. Click here for the Fox News report.
