More Farts & Global Warming
The global warming fart debate is really heating up. By now, it seems everybody has heard about the environmental impact of cow farts. Many are advocating that we move away from eating meat, as that would decrease the number of cows raised for their beef, and would decrease the number and volume of the cow farts.
OK, all well and good. But, in doing research, it seems that people with vegitarian or vegan diets tend to fart much more than people with a balanced diet, including meat. Because of the extra cellulose and various complex sugars contained in legumes and vegitables, some studies indicate that vegitarians might produce 50-100% more gas daily than omnivoires.
Looks like we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t. So, might as well have a good steak, rip a few farts, and enjoy the ride…and, when the next study comes out, we can come up with some more knee-jerk reactions and modify behavior appropriately.
Admittedly, I just went to the fridge for a beer, but seeing these ridiculous Sophie Reade cleavage-busting workout pictures did also make me sweat, so the combination was something akin to a workout. you will be in womenhealthinfo.com

Actually most vegetarians (or people for that matter) do NOT pass methane gas which is the problem behind said global warming. Thus your ending point is moot. People who eat more meat have smellier gas on top of it because of all the protein.
