I quote AI: “Cows in Argentina contribute to global warming through methane emissions from enteric fermentation, which accounts for a significant portion of the country’s agricultural emissions.” I do a bit of research and find this: “From 2030, farmers in Denmark will have to pay a tax for their animals’ farts. This is because cow, sheep and pig burps and farts produce a greenhouse gas called methane, which contribute to global warming and climate change.” Who would ever imagine there would be something like a “flatulence tax”? Believe it or not, a provincial legislator in Buenos Aires is also promoting a “cow fart tax”. I hope it’s not applied to human beings in the near future. A few days ago, I heard a renowned doctor on the radio, encouraging “fart walks”, short strolls after a meal to help digestion and relieve gas. Just in case, let’s not follow his advice for now. We might end up in prison. Sigh …
