The US alone emits almost 20,000 tons of methane per day just from eating hamburgers (.0126 pounds per hamburger x 300 million people) or about 10 more than this big scary Russian hole. Yet no one bats an eye.
Out of all the countries I've been to there's actually some which go even crazier than the USA. I think Brazil is notable in this regard, every restaurant I went into had steak. Even a pizza parlor is like you don't want pizza? We got Picanha!
