Write it yourselves if you feel so strongly about it! Or how about this, stop whining and don't use a service you don't like and are in no way paying for!
However, if you do need my wit to validate your own opinions, then I'm sure you're already aware of the fact that I have addressed this issue in the past. Sure that article is boring and outdated now, but it's still better than anything you could come up with.
No, today I have decided to tackle a real and serious issue that has been vexing me greatly: Cow farts.
Studies show that cows emit massive amounts of methane through burping and farting. Methane, of course, is a major contributor to global warming and is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Some experts say that the average dairy cow emits up to 500 liters of methane per day, which is comparable to the average car on the road. As we know, cars are a major contributing factor to the fact[1] of global warming.
An ongoing study by Welsh scientists is examining whether feeding cows garlic can have an impact on cow flatulence. Early results suggest that a garlic based diet reduces cow farts by 50%, but result in disgusting milk.
Other efforts include a Fart Tax proposed by the government of New Zealand which was not adopted because it's fucking stupid.
What can be done about the problem? Personally, I suggest a re-evaluation of the beef industry. In a world where overpopulation is rife and we don't know what to do with unwanted children, the elderly or the homeless, do we really need to look towards another species as a source of dietary meat?
[1] Not really. For an intelligent and totally unbiased look at global warming from an unbiased perspective, see this article. Oh, did I mention it's in no way biased whatsoever? Because it's not.
