Stunningly stupid press release from Stonyfield Farm

We're saved!: Stonyfield Farm Takes on Cow Burps
LONDONDERRY, N.H., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The first program in North America to naturally decrease global warming gases caused by cows' burps (enteric emissions) has been announced by environmental pioneer Stonyfield Farm, the world's leading organic yogurt company (www.stonyfield.com). An unexpected benefit of the program is that it also significantly increases the nutritional value of the milk.

"This is a watershed moment for the US dairy industry," said Stonyfield President and CE-Yo Gary Hirshberg. "By changing the feed we give our cows, we can simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve milk's nutritional content in a way that may help reduce cardiovascular disease and obesity."

Mr. Nelson, can you please explain why you were critical of Stonyfield's efforts at reducing cows' burps (enteric methane)?
