Where does the carbon go then? Does the seaweed increase the cow's digestive efficiency or something else?

Well played.
As far as the actual news -- awesome, I hope it gets widely implemented there and abroad.
found a quick link, I really didn't do much digging because I vividly remember reading that it was causing issues.

The literal one and only time this gif could have been used. congrats
That doesn't say what the end product of the carbohydrate-bromoform reaction is. The study itself might, but it's way too jargony for me.
You gonna force me to eat seaweed cows? I thought this was America!
Mother of God, this is well put.
The same way a dwarf knew his axe was buried in a nervous system.
It could actually change the flavor of the meat though. There has to be some drawback to this, it's Equivalent Exchange!!!
I dont recall seeing anything specifically for seaweed, although I am sure it is possible/probable in some parts of the world as ocean water warms, but maybe you are talking about algae?
Add me to the list of people who lost their shit when they saw this.
Good job.
You know something just occured to me, the orcs know what a menu is...does that mean there are orc restaurants in Mordor?
Anywhos, this is good as I enjoy the taste of cow and its many bovine cousins
I'll have you know there are several Michelin Star Orcish restaurants.
The orcish cultural implications of this are huge. I wonder what else is on the menu.
Very good points -- this should be used in conjunction with greater adoption of meat-alternatives. It'd be a Pyrrhic victory if this seaweed takes off but we bulldoze the Amazon more because we feel "good" (or at least, less bad) about ourselves for eating beef.
Yieeehhhaaa, we're back in business. I always knew that some shitty molecule won't be able to stop us. Want some seaweed Siberian permafrost? Now please find some mushrooms that will eat up all the CO2 in the air and I can finally undust my SUV fleet without bad conscience. Mankind rules!
Does that mean I can fit my cow with an Akrapovic exhaust without violating the noise emissions cap?
While this is great, please don't use this as an excuse to continue your current habits before this gets implemented.
This also doesn't address land and water usages concerns. It's a good step forward though.

Not necessarily. That stuff is still important for fighting global hunger.
Imagine how easy it would be if feeding a cow consisted of just leading it to a man made 3 foot lake that had cultivated seaweed in it and just let it feast.
I thought it had been determined that the methane from the cows wasn't actually a major factor in global warming? Rather the whole structure around the beef industry (transportation, trucks, etc) was the real cause?
no one needs to cut down trees for beef, they're just crazy and money crazed and ignorant of science. Don't blame the delicious beef.
cows swim well bro, infact its the only time they're known to attack humans.
