Beef……..

When it comes to global warming, hamburgers are the “Hummers of food”, scientists say. Simply switching from steak to salad could cut as much carbon as leaving the car at home a couple days a week. That’s because beef is such an incredibly inefficient food to produce and cows release so much harmful methane into the atmosphere, according to Nathan Pelletier of Dalhousie University in Canada.

Now they tell me to give up my steak and hamburgers………hell no.

I’m sure that you’ve heard that your not supposed to eat this or that. Hamburger, cheese, mayo, lettuce, pickles, onions…….whatever. That’s the favorite of many Americans and others worldwide. Got to have the french fries, for more flavor as well. Who likes hamburger’s, is a toss up…….you can’t find too many people who don’t like them. They are a good food to fill up with in a hurry and still feel satisfied. I find that it’s easier to eat a hamburger than go somewhere and get a full meal.
