Beef Burgers leads towards Global Warming !!

We had never ever thought that the food we are consuming in the shape of meat will contribute to global warming.

The meat we take almost daily in any shape between burgers or in meals, contains some components in it that contribute to global warming.

Animal produce methane gas in the process of digestion that leads towards global warming, it is studied that methane is 23 time dangerous than carbon dioxide, because only few ounces of methane is equal to 4 to 5 pounds carbon dioxide which also add to global warming.

Now to researchers are thinking to produce such kind of fodder for animals that contribute less to global warming.

If meat is compared with chicken and potatoes then meat produces 13 time more then chicken and 57 times more then potatoes to global warming.

Latest survey tells that in USA the persons that consume beef daily contribute to such a large green house gas that it is sufficient to drive a car for 1800 miles.

So don’t forget while taking a single bite of beef burgers.
