    People think I'm strange because I don't love salmon. I find it too fishy. I don't mind trout though and they are a related fish.

    Don't try to make sense out of the Green Movement. It is all politics and politics is rarely logical.

    Exclusively grass fed beef has a fishy taste. Fishy is good with fish, but not good with beef.

    I guess you could marinade grass fed beef and get it to taste good that way.

    Methane from grass fed cows doesn't scientifically cause an issue. It does from corn fed cows. Like I said, Greens aren't rational. If they focused on banning corn fed cows, they might win. Enough beef eaters have moved to grass fed and probably would help the corn-feeders in that fight.

    Methane is actually a very potent green house gas.
