Canadian Beer Drinkers Cause Global Warming!!!

[[JiF]KellysHero]

Scientists have found a new threat to the planet: Canadian beer drinkers.

The government-commissioned study says the old, inefficient "beer fridges" that one in three Canadian households use to store their Molson and Labatt's contribute significantly to global warming by guzzling gas- and coal-fired electricity.

"People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles," British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow tells New Scientist magazine. "Clearly the environmental implications of having a frivolous luxury like a beer fridge are not hitting home. This research helps inform people — let's hope it has an effect."

The problem is that the beer fridges are mostly decades-old machines that began their second careers as beverage dispensers when Canadians upgraded to more energy-efficient models to store whatever Canadians eat besides doughnuts and poutine.

University of Alberta researcher Denise Young, who led the study, suggests that provincial authorities hold beer-fridge buy-backs or round-ups to eliminate the threat — methods that Americans use to get guns off the streets.

I sure wish you would send your brothers in the USA some premium quality Canadian beer.
I was in Toronto a few years ago and was amazed at how much better the Molson's and Labatt's tasted than what we get here.
Then I went to North Bay and it tasted even better, hmmmm, might be on to something here.....

Do you keep all the "good stuff" to yourselves or is it something else?

And what the heck is poutine?

And what the heck is poutine?

Poutine is the reason we insist on universal health care. Poutine: French fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy, best served with plenty of salt.

My friends from NY have told me of such a delicacy, it looks sooo bad for you...but soooo good!!!

Sorry I asked, now I want some.
Maybe if I triple my dose of Lipator it will be ok?

Maybe we can start calling them "french" fries again instead of "freedom" fries now that Chirac is gone and Sarkozy loves us so much

There is a direct correlation between obesity rates, happiness and proximity to poutine shops.

Canadian Factoid: Housing prices are higher in areas where doughnut shops, pubs, beer stores and poutine shops are within staggering distance.

Did you know: Poutine grease can be used to waterproof your touque!

And you think you tasted good stuff ! If you are a beer lover (like some wine connaisseur), there are over a thousand microbrewery that make ales, beers, pilseners and stouts that are just divine ! Beer like it should taste ! Mild to strong, pale to dark, light to bold. Nothing like that yellow colored water Budweiser and the like(including Molson and Labatt) try to pass for beer !

And don't get me started on poutine ! The stuff dreams are made of, the first thing we jumped on back from sea !

Awwwww, I'm drooling now !
