Why misinformation about a cow feed additive prompted people to throw milk away

Some UK social media users have been pouring milk down their sinks and toilets in protest at the trial of a new feed additive that claims to significantly reduce the emission of methane gas in dairy cows.

Arla Foods, a Danish-Swedish company which owns the UK’s biggest dairy cooperative, announced last week that 30 of its farms across the country would test the additive, named Bovaer.

The company behind Bovaer - which is added in small quantities to cow feed - says it could reduce cow methane emissions by between 30-45%.

It has been approved for use by UK regulators, and several major supermarkets will stock milk produced by cattle eating feed with the additive.


Well, we'll be making sure we avoid the chemical.

Easy enough.....................stop feeding them beans.

"Bovaer is made using silicon dioxide, propylene glycol and organic compound 3-nitrooxypropanol (known as 3-NOP)."

Silicon dioxide is just dirt ... propylene glycol is FDA approved as human food ... 3-NOP appears to be digestible ... my only question is this healthy for the cows? ... if methane production is curtailed, then what happens to that stray reduced carbon atom? ... if it's oxidized then this is no better than releasing the methane ...

Methane does not last in the environment, it is destroyed by oxygen ... so it's not a contributor to the Greenhouse Effect except it becomes carbon dioxide ... and THANK YOU for pointing out this methane is belched, not farted ...

They release methane through a combination of farting, shitting, and belching.....But yeah, mostly belching.

Humans (even dems) release it by farting.....Vegans release more than meat-eaters. An all-plant diets result in seven more farts per day.

I grew up on a dairy had to milk 120 head every day. there's more methane in the manure pile than any fart

The thing is, our bodies run on chemicals and chemicals in our food chain has grown exponentially, and so too has cancers and allergies.

And I'm not interested in the 'experts' opinion, if they knew how all these chemicals do in our bodies, then make cancer and allergy cures.

We make as many meals from raw ingredients, but more and more of these are filling up with chemicals too.

Aw, fuck that everlovin' stupid shit!
Naw, fuck that! This thing right here, "Boevans" does nothing good for the world whatsoever. No.
Hey, this is not a war against cow methane emissions, it's a war against people being able to eat beef and live well naturally.
It's an affront against God's green Earth. Fuck you with that!

Depends on the chemicals ... our bodies do a real good job digesting all manner of chemicals ... we can extract iron from rust and use it in our blood ... that's crazy cool ...

The hydrocarbons in this additive aren't getting too far without being broken down and remade into important cow chemicals ... in much the same way as we eat cow chemicals and remake them into human chemicals ...

The dirt won't, but dirt isn't harmful ... we put a lot of dirt in the powdery mixes we buy at the super market, it's a good anti-caking agent ...

My organic chemistry is very weak ... but the only thing I see is that ammonia group on the propane molecule ... but that's what cow livers are good for ... certainly wouldn't go into the milk ... and even if it did, human livers are good for processing ammonia as well ...

I'm worried about the methane ... and exploding cows:

I tell you what, I hope for America's sake, Tump gets out of that Paris Accord crap, gets rid of all the climate freaks in government and gets something signed into law that America can't go back to that crap in the next 100 years.

So many countries don't give two hoots to this climate hoax whilst we wreck ours.

Wtf ever, brah, cows don't need no goddam "Boevans" to live a grass-fed natural life and give us beef.

Oh, he will. Gates gotta go.
China owning Smithfield does, too.

you know the FD approves high fructose corn syrup nd most other toxic chemicals that are not suitable for human consumption,,

stop being a drone and Guiney pig

What's wrong with fructose? ... it's just a simple sugar ... found in sugar cane, sugar beets and, yeah, corn ...

Just eat organic foods and not worry about it ... bug poop is far better for you than anything out of a test tube ...

Talk about misinformation ...

Cow's milk is for calves.

If that's the case, our breasts would be filled with orange juice...

[Captain Caveman]

Bovaer awareness picking up in the UK. Avoid Marks & Spencer milk as well, Graham's is apparently safe.

I was watching -





And with this Bovaer boycott kicking off, one thing Steve Jobs said that stood out -

Eat your food as a medicine, otherwise you will have to eat your medicine as food

The girlfriend is laughing on about Bovaer in the news, and I've told her there's two types of dairy in the house, the stuff you buy for you and mine that I bought from local farms for me. Now, she's already on a million tablets for God knows what ailments, I take paracetamol once in a blue moon if my knee gives me jipp.
