Burgers Pollute More Than Trucks.

[Bob Fechter]

Well, we all wonder what the next target of the air quality nazis will be and now, courtesy of Los Angeles California, of course, comes the “For comparison, an 18-wheeler diesel engine truck would have to drive 143 miles on the freeway to put out the same mass of particulates as a single charbroiled hamburger patty,” attack on our favorite man food.

Particularly interested in the comment, “Either way, we’re living in a world (where) we’re still going through pollution. But the difference is we are getting some type of benefit from (the burger),” said Maria Segura.

So we get no benefit from Trucks? How did the effin burger get to the kitchen in the first place?

Comparisons like this are childish bloody rubbish.

A few years ago, in California, the EPA started canvasing around grocery stores telling the residents that they were being exposed to high levels of carcinogens because of the diesel trucks delivering food to the grocers. To me that is the gist of this story. As a result diesel fuel, which used to be the cheapest fuel now costs more than premium gasoline.

Ya know, Cliff, you keep popping in publicly and telling me what to do. Why don't you just share with everyone the circumstances of you ban. Get it over with.
