Bovaer to Burp Genetics: 'Groundbreaking' Science, Same Old Excuse
You know that moment when you touch a hot stove twice and realise... maybe don't touch the hot stove?

Apparently that logic doesn't apply when you're trying to "fix" cows.
 

Seriously.

Apparently, there's a new 'groundbreaking breeding programme in Scotland that's selectively breeding cattle to produce 2% less methane per generation.

Their goal? A 40% reduction in cow burps over 20 years.

Here's the thing...

Every time they try to go against nature with these "solutions," it falls flat on its face.
 
What else can we say at this point? 
Remember when we told you about Bovaer a few months back - that methane-suppressing feed additive that was supposed to save the planet?

Since then, hundreds of farmers have reported their cows collapsing, dying, dropping in milk production - all because someone thought they could chemically suppress a natural biological process.

It got so bad farmers started refusing to use it.

So what did they learn from that disaster?

Absolutely nothing.

First it was chemical feed additives. Now it's genetic modification. 
 
What's next? Sending cows to the moon? 

This feels like the pattern of  a ‘mad scientist’ spiraling out of control…

Industry identifies a "problem" (cow burps create methane)...
Ignores the root cause (factory farming vs regenerative systems)...
Proposes a technological "fix" that messes with nature...

It backfires spectacularly...

Then they double down with an even more extreme intervention.
 
But here's the truth…

If you read our article on who actually invented your "carbon footprint”… 
 
You'll already know how massive corporations like BP tactically shift the blame for environmental issues on us while they get a free pass to keep wrecking the planet. 
  • Transportation produces 28.5% of greenhouse gases. 
  • Electricity generation produces 28.4%.
  • Industry produces 21.6%.
  • Livestock? Just 3.9%. Beef specifically? Only 2%.

Yet somehow beef - and us selfish meat eaters - are the villains.  

Makes you wonder what all this is really about, right? 

Because the reality is…

Cattle raised on regenerative farms are carbon negative.

Not neutral. NEGATIVE.



To real food, real farming and real cow burps.
