Have they fixed that formaldehyde problem with their ice cream?

Good thing we decimated the Buffalo population. The country must have stunk before the White man came here.

Why don’t they just stop making their damn ice cream. Less need for milk product maybe less cows. Come to think of it if all liberal wackos would stop using dairy and beef there would be fewer cows, they could stop eating and drinking and save the earth.

Hopefully, this doesnt end like the episode of South Park where people were spontaneously combusting due to holding in their excess gas. Oh, I don't know. I'd pay good money to see that.
To: EveningStar
It is only proper that Liberal Ben & Jerry cease operations immediately and stop adding to this global warming crisis!

To celebrate “Climate Change” they should start making “Dirt Nap Crunch”.

Wait til the econuts turn on fat people for having too big a carbon footprint. B & J will be so out of business, they will achieve the workers paradise not by choice.

Why don’t we all just hunker down in caves and eat grass... and if anybody burbs, poke a sharp stick in his eye.
To: Minutemen
I agree. I have not bought their ice cream in years.

I am lactose intolerant. I can produce more methane than a herd of cows with just one bowl of their ice cream so maybe that should just close up shop and be carbon neutral...

This is a funny, right? It sounds true. However, I don't know for sure.
To: EveningStar
Actually, there is an economic value to being concerned about cow belches and cow farts. Methane is a very high energy gas that cows release into the atmosphere (with the emphasis being on “high energy”). This energy has to come from somewhere. It comes from the cow feed, which is another way of saying that it comes out of your wallet. This feed-dollar-energy is wasted because the cow has an inefficient digestive system. The kangaroo has a diet similar to the cow, but produces far less methane. This is because the kangaroo has an additional bacteria in its gut, which allows the feed to be digested into biologically usable fuel, rather than just waste methane. Efforts are currently underway to transplant this particular bacteria from kangaroos to cows, which will result in the savings of millions of feed dollars (and will help with global warming at the same time).
