Flatulent Cows in the UK

For those of you who didn't believe Coxsoft Art's claim that Brits are preoccupied with the impact of cow farts on global warming (see my post Global Cities at Tate: CLICK), here's the proof. Scientists in Wales reckon adding garlic to cow feed could reduce cow flatulence by 50%. This research - commissioned by the Department for Food, the Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) at a cost of £750,000 - uses plastic tents to gather the evidence. Allegedly, 3% of Britain's greenhouse gases are cow farts. But why point the finger of blame at cows? What about flatulence in the human population? DEFRA, come clean. Are you paying for dietary research on people-produced methane? A person may not produce 500 litres of gas a day, but we vastly outnumber cows.
