To be straight up, cows belch more vile methane than they fart*, but is belch as funny as fart? No. No it's not. Either way, Burger King, they wanna cut that down some. According to the company, they partnered with scientists to find a way to reduce up to 33% (on average) the methane release from cows.

How'd they do it? By adjusting their diets. They added 100 grams of dried lemongrass leaves to their daily feed. That's it. Pretty cool. Also, pretty cool, they put together a commercial with Mason Ramsey! You remember him, he started out as a viral video, yodeling at Wal-Mart.

So, what about getting it at Minnesota Burger Kings? Nope. Not a chance.

The very last thing in the video is a disclaimer.
