....Char broiled burgers ??

Could be, according to this study that claims a single, yes just one, char broiled burger puts out the same pollution as an 18 wheeler driving 143 miles. Silly....of course, but we are talking California here. Now if you read into this, what this study really says is that pollution from diesel trucks isn't as bad as they would have you believe, but those damn burgers.....they have to go.:biggrin:

Having worked for Cummins Engine Company for seven years back int he 80s, I can say Cummins is one diesel engine manufacturer that takes eliminating pollution seriously -- not just to meet federal emissions standards, but as a social responsibility.

Clean Diesel- Clean coal, both are fairy tales. Once diesel is in your lungs, it AIN'T ever coming back out. Burgers......not nearly as bad. :eek:

Look at the exhaust stack on your local Burger King, then compair it to a new semi truck.

You can't eat an 18 wheeler .

The F-ing tree huggers have gone to far now! Dont mess with my burgers.they can eat thier tofo just leave me and my burhers alone.

badchad

My diet is about 30% hamburgers. I'm not going out like this...

Studies like these are just a precurser to a reason for a new tax to come down the pike. We all joke about taxing the air we breath, well, it just may come to pass....soon.

Personally, if a single char broiled burger is a contributing cause of pollution, then what isn't ? See where I'm going ? It opens the door for new taxes on just about anything and everything. I think some of these boneheads lay awake at night thinking how they can squeeze more coin out of the masses......and make it sound like their doing you a favor. Thats always been the name of the game anyway.

I have to give up burgers now? I already had to switch to paper bags for pants after learning how many gallons of water it takes to make a pair of blue jeans...

Gues it's just the price you pay for saving the world. Someone suggested I switch to plastic bags last time it stormed, but do you know how many of those there are in landfills nowadays??

Somehow that just doesn't sound right. I'm going to check with a few of the members of our Chemistry Dept. on this. Then there is also the question of TOTALITY. That is, how many miles do diesels travel a year vs. how many barbecues Americans have a year? lol

I assume John is being tongue and cheek above, not "everything" is a Communist plot. Just be careful. Because the Chinese are chomping at our heels and this might just be their century rather than "ours". There's an enormous amount of development, change, and transformation occurring over there today. By comparison the U.S. is standing still as it's political "morons" debate the pros and cons of Free Market vs. Gov't intervention. Either / or, like school children who have never read any history other than an expurgated edition of their own? You think China is the "only" nation that "rewrites" its own history so as to legitimize its right to rule?

But no more time for politics and they aren't really necessary. You guys know what you think and so do I. lol

I'm all for firing up a few burgers now and then as long as we don't do it so much that we reap cancer in our colons?

And so having spoken he walked down the mountain, no tablets in his hands, disappeared into the masses bellow and lost himself in a crowd of others, most unlike himself. And it was GOOD!

Make sure you add in all the burger joints that produce charbroiled burgers.

Tough comparison anyway. The study doesn't site the age of the diesel truck, obviously todays are more efficient than yesterdays. Heck, Burger king alone, the amount of burgers they sell.....I'm surprised we all aren't dead yet.

No, what they are saying is the commercial places put out a large amount of particulate pollution. I'd say I have to agree, since the exhaust from those commercial places isn't treated. It's not the same as your backyard BBQ.

Having worked quite a bit with CEMS (continuous emissions monitoring systems), I have a decent understanding of what they are talking about. There are cheap solutions to solve most of the problem. You could draw the exhaust from the hood and bubble it through water and probably remove a sizeable portion of the particulates. If you add lime and create a slurry, the efficiency would quadruple. Put a filter on the exhaust and you could reach like 90% removal without breaking the bank.

I'm not agreeing with the tree huggers, but if you look at it with a larger view, they are probably right. There could be a solution.

Speaking of pollution, if this doesn't beat all.....

Cheap solution maybe, but everyone knows they'd pass the cost on to the customers...and who would be willing to pay a few more cents for a charbroiled burger anyway??

I got an e-mail just today that promises to fix this trend! I'll forward it off after I'm done finishing this deal with a very nice Nigerian prince.

I'm all for solutions Antny, but first....how about a problem.

Just my opinion, but they have it backwards. They already have a solution in mind, they just need to search for a problem.

No burgers in Cali, no big gulps in NY. Good to know your local Government is taking care of you. :rolleyes:

Reporting Stephanie Stahl

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) ? If size matters, male private parts are shrinking, according to a new Italian study on sexuality.

The study?s leaders claim to have bona fide research that says the average size of a **** is roughly 10 percent smaller than it was 50 years ago.

The study doesn?t say how the research was conducted or give numbers. But it does provide several reasons for the shrinkage, including: weight gain, stress, smoking and alcohol.

Researchers also say air pollution has also been shown to ?negatively impact **** size.?


it's only fitting a woman reports this....and it comes from Italy.

So men are getting smaller, womens **** are getting bigger, I'm suddenly feeling useless in all this.:cheesygrin:

Isn't this reason enough to try and cap pollution ? An inch is big in a mans world....I guess a womans too.

gdb

50 years ago......I was 9 years old.......mine has gotten way more than 10%......... larger !

obieone

Eco-mentalist make me LOL

I'd love to see one one of these R-TARDS, come down to my neck of the woods, and tell a pit-master his smoker is bad for the enviroment. Bubba make take offense at that

50 years ago......I was 9 years old.......mine has gotten way more than 10%......... larger

Viagra....it apparently makes your 1" **** look like a 2". Congrats!!!:twisted:

People laughed at me when I moved to Texas 20 years ago. It's really nice when others really don't care what you eat or drink.

halo71

Not to mention the amount of pollution coming from vehicles waiting in line at the drive through for the burgers! :eek:

So men are getting smaller, womens **** are getting bigger, I'm suddenly feeling useless in all this.

Makes ya wish ya had **** ehh?:redface:
