Story Highlights
  • Burger King is selling a Whopper made from cows on a low-methane diet at select locations.
  • The burger chain worked with scientists to find that adding 100 grams of lemongrass to a cow’s diet reduces their methane emissions by a third.
  • Livestock was responsible for 3.9% of U.S. global greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Burger King on Tuesday reported a hot new eating routine tip: 100 grams of lemongrass daily to ward the methane off.

The Restaurant Brands International chain is revealing a Whopper patty produced using dairy animals on the low-methane diet. The restricted time offer burger may be accessible at select areas in Miami, New York, Austin, Portland and Los Angeles.

Burger King worked with researchers from the Autonomous University at the State of Mexico and the University of California, Davis to handle the ecological effect of hamburger. Domesticated animals was answerable for 3.9% of U.S. worldwide ozone harming substance emanations in 2018, as indicated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Worries about environmental change have driven a few buyers to decrease their general meat admission and change to eating meat options sporadically. Across the country, Burger King sells meatless burgers and wiener patties made by Impossible Foods.

Starbucks vowed to become “asset positive.” As a major aspect of that guarantee, it’s adding meat options in contrast to its menu and intending to in the long run move to reusable bundling. On Thursday, rival McDonald’s divulged another leader area at Walt Disney World Resort that creates enough sustainable power sources to cover the entirety of its vitality needs on a net yearly premise.
