Glad I like beef

I don't doubt the quantifiable aspects of the measured emissions, only the misconception that they are destroying the environment.

And sorry, but there's nothing as tasty at a barbecue than hamburgers or a nice juicy steak grilled over seasoned briquettes. Yum. Good thing it's lunch time.

    The central authority of my religion, which advises semi-vegetarianism, has released a new edict:
    Beef eating is encouraged if accompanied by this prayer-
    "O beneficent CO2, widespread may your goodness reach."

    That sounds great, Robbie. Nothing beats real smoke. Will let you know how this one turns out, but doing it in the oven 'cause the crockpot is out on loan at present.

    Except for the onions, looks good. Tried KH's pulled pork BBQ crockpot recipe which turned out pretty good. This one is probably next. 6 lbs is pretty hefty for me, so probably need to cut down to about 1/3 of that.

    That said, my wood fired BBQ pit still does it best.

    True but they aren't part of the evil "Red Meat"

    Gotta give the marketing genius that came up with "Pork the other white meat" his due.

    Livestock causes very little climate change effect. Methane stays in the atmosphere for only a short time, before it gets oxidized into harmless products (CO2 and water). Livestock only gets drawn into the story because it is political. They can regulate and tax and subsidize farming very easily, without losing many votes (unlike fossil fuels).

    They've clearly never been to a swine or poultry farm. They clearly have more "emissions" than do beef cattle.

    And when I think of all the buffalo that once roamed the plains, it's a good thing we damn near wiped them out to extinction... altho I sure do love my Emu-burgers...

    The article... sounds like soft-core PETA propaganda...

    Now if you'll 'scuze me, I have to go to the meat market, see if they have fresh spareribs (AKA Steak on a Stick) for Thursday's BBQ...
