GIVE up lamb roasts and save the planet. Government advisers are developing menus to combat climate change by cutting out “high carbon” food such as meat from sheep, whose burping poses a serious threat to the environment.
Out will go kebabs, greenhouse tomatoes and alcohol. Instead, diners will be encouraged to consume more potatoes and seasonal vegetables, as well as pork and chicken, which generate fewer carbon emissions.
“Changing our lifestyles, including our diets, is going to be one of the crucial elements in cutting carbon emissions,” said David Kennedy, chief executive of the Committee on Climate Change....
....The problem is because sheep burp so much methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Cows are only slightly better behaved....

That's what I was thinking. How does my refraining from eating lamb stop the lambs from burping? Seems like the opposite would be true. If they're on my plate, they ain't burping. I might be after I eat them, but at least I can take a Tums or Gas-X. lol
Well, we can’t all be cow-rectum-ologists :-)
We had that for dinner tonite!!!!A boneless leg of lamb with roasted vidalia onions....yummo!!!
OK, enough silliness for me tonight. Thanks all, I needed a good laugh!
“How does my refraining from eating lamb stop the lambs from burping?”
Seems a bit rudimentary, but I believe the thought is if there ain’t nobody eatin’ ‘em, then there won’t be nobody breedin’ ‘em.
Of course then you get 20 years down the road and sheep show up on the endangered species list so we produce a billion flatulating sheep nobody can eat.
I will eat everyone that they don’t eat, I love Lamb!
I bet they will help with the price a little.
As if animals haven’t been farting for thousands of years.
How about the simplest? Lamb chop + garlic salt + pepper + grill + fire?
These people are out of their minds bat sh!t crazy. I am stunned at how incredibly easy it is for people to be bamboozled by these hucksters.
My only wish in life is to be able to call these idiots out when it is obvious they’ve been had by the “global warming” hoax.
God let me last at least that long.
Can you hear it Clarice? Can you?
Can you hear the Silence of the Lambs?
Won’t there always be sheep regardless of whether they’re bred for food or not?
Sometimes it’s just Lamb (ribs,chop,shoulder or leg slice) + grill + fire.
