On Tuesday, Burger King, in a seeming attempt to seem as politically correct as possible, issued a tweet asserting that they were feeding their cows lemongrass in their diet so methane emissions from cow farts leading to climate change would be reduced.

Burger King tweeted, “cow farts & burps are no laughing matter. they release methane, contributing to climate change. that’s why we’re working to change our cows’ diet by adding lemongrass to reduce their emissions by approximately 33%.”
