Save the Planet?

Here's one way to stop global warming and save the planet's atmosphere....(kinda).....

STOP SHEEP FROM FARTING OUT BAD GAS BY FEEDING THEM CURRY!!

Scientists say that feeding curry to sheep could help save the planet - by reducing methane emissions.

Researchers found that coriander and turmeric can reduce the amount of methane produced by sheep by up to 40%.

The spices, traditionally used in curry, were found to kill the "bad" bacteria in the animal's gut while allowing the "good" bacteria to flourish.

"Coriander seeds, for example, are often prescribed for stomach complaints while turmeric and cloves are strong antiseptics.

"Methane is a major contributor to global warming and the slow digestive system of ruminant animals such as cows and sheep makes them a key producer of the gas.
