I wonder if it'll flavor the meat?AKA,who wants to french a cow & find out?

From the BBC...

 
Garlic 'may cut cow flatulence'
Scientists in Wales tackling the impact flatulent cows and sheep have on global warming may have an answer - putting garlic in their food.
Experts claim cows are responsible for about 3% of Britain's greenhouse gases.

But initial results from the start of the three-year study show that feed containing garlic could cut the amount of gas produced by up to 50%.

The Aberystwyth research team is testing if this taints milk or meat - and gives the animals bad breath.

The study is being led by scientists at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, alongside colleagues at Bangor and Reading universities.

In Aberystwyth, researchers are measuring the amount of methane and nitrogen produced by sheep by housing them in a plastic portable tent.

Project leader Professor Jamie Newbold said new types of feed from plant extracts, and grass with a higher sugar content, were being developed to help solve the problem.

I don't know about cows, but it doesn't work on humans.  Trust me.

French a cow?  That image is painful, just painful.

So research money is being poured into something that *might* reduce the already-debunked "greenhouse gases" by what translates into 1.5%?

And they still haven't found a cure for smoking...

That would be one large tongue to trade spit with.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

why not just add some sodium bicarbonate to the feed?

I'm not sure that would work, but I see your point.  You can bet that whatever solution they find for this non-existent "problem", it will be selected on the basis of complexity and expense.  The more expensive and complex, the better the solution in their eyes.

Have you ever eaten beef in a German (in Germany!) restaurant? Those I visited served the beef with garlic butter melting on top. Yum!

Garlic and beef go together wonderfully. Now, had they decided to feed the cattle cinnamon, or something like that, there may be a problem.
