Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Where's the Beef?

(Fox News) - Scientists in Britain say eating less meat could help slow global warming. The medical journal The Lancet features experts saying that by eating fewer steaks and burgers, there would be less need for livestock, which would decrease the amount of methane flatulence.

Scientists say methane is far more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide and many maintain the meat industry is more dangerous that all forms of transportation. Experts say in the story that cutting meat consumption by 10 percent would result in a cut in greenhouse gases.

They didn't account for all the extra human farting when we start eating more broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
