They can have my charbroiled burger,

when they pry it from my cold dead, if slightly greasy hand.

The next target for the Greenie Weenies?

A UC Riverside study found that commercially cooked hamburgers cause more air pollution than diesel trucks.

The study, which focused on commercial charbroilers found in burger restaurants, said the equipment generates grease, smoke, water vapors and combustion products, which emit a large amount of particulate matter into the air.

“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,” said Bill Welch, the principle engineer.

They also need to take into account the methane gas produced as a by-product.

Hahaha, they've been after us truckers for years making new regs and new equipment to install (EGR, DEF, DPF, APU). Now they are gonna start on ya'lls burgers. Have fun with your low emission, clean idle burger.

who cares how much pollution they put into the air?

I have never thought about making illegal liquor or growing pot, but if they outlaw grilled burgers.........

Oh so now particulates are the evil, bad, pollution, planet killing mantra? Do they not know that those "particulates" are the same exact thing were are eating in the burger? So they are now somehow toxic after all these years? They just need a new spin. Pretty soon the EPA will need to regulate burger patties. Brilliant!

I wonder if they say the same thing about their charbroiled veggie burgers? The complaints are probably from vegans that are afraid the smell will cause them to break down and eat meat. Kind of like the old popeye cartoons where the aroma hits Wimpy and floats him to the nearest burger.
