Cows whose rumen bacteria produce methane and nitrous oxide are wasting 10% of the energy value of their feed.

Adding a small amount of nitrates to cattle feed changes the metabolic pathway of hydrogen to produce ammonia rather than methane, allowing the cow to absorb more of the nutrients and reducing methane and nitrous oxide production by more than 80%.

Cheap nitrate additives are primarily anything with tannins or some types of seaweeds. Even adding a little edible fat or oil to their diet will reduce methane production. In any event the additives make up less than 3% of the diet.

As for beef I generally take just the filet out of the cow and leave the rest of the carcass lying by the side of the road. Sometimes I'll eat other parts, but filets are so easy to cook and Trader Joe's has them for a good price. It's fortunate we have a market which subsidizes my finicky eating habits or the planet would be strewn with dead cows with little pieces missing.

But I've always loved vegetables. My husband accuses me of continually trying to poison him with vegetables, which I even add in goodly measure to even traditionally non-vegetable dishes.
