Cashew oil may cut cattle methane emissions

For those ultra-greenies who are concerned that cattle emit too much methane into the atmosphere, both by belching and gaseous wastes anally, cashew nut oil is riding to the rescue.

Personally, I could really care. After spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to track methane emissions from cows, it was determined that they represented less than one percent of the methane emitted into the atmosphere. After all the automobiles are cleaned up, all the factory smokestacks cleared and all the miscellaneous sources of pollution like lawnmowers--then go after the cows.

I remember when a man got elected U.S. Senator from Wyoming by running television commercials of horses walking around the range with porta-potties strapped to their rearends. Needless to say, he was overwhelmingly elected and re-elected. That alone showed the ludicrous nature of the complaints.

A firm in Japan will have commercially produced cashew oil for use as an additive in cattle feed available within four years. It will only cost pennies a day, and studies show it slashes bovine methane emissions by 90%.

Hooray!
