True Lies

 

A new report has found that vegans emit five times more carbon than those on a meat-based diet. That’s according to a new report prepared by an Auckland University researcher. Dr Heather Winkelbottom says the high-fibre vegan diet causes high levels of flatulence. “Most humans pass gas between 13 to 21 times a day. This increases to between 60 to 120 times a day for vegans, or once every 15 minutes. Not only does this contribute to global warming, but flatulence also contains dangerous levels of methane which is potentially harmful to human health. I consider it dangerous to be confined with a vegan in a small space like a lift for more than 10 minutes.”

Dr Winklebottom said further research is required and has applied to the Marsden Fund for funding assistance. 

Is this true or a lie?
