Is it something to do with giving grass-fed cows probiotics, so that they emit slightly less methane? I've seen a few texts on the Internet about that. I will remain skeptical about it. Claims that one has discovered a way to sustainably feed billions of people with meat don't have a stellar track record.

For about the same reason, people are biased against believing burning wood causes lung cancer and is environmentally probably less acceptable than burning coal, and certainly less environmentally acceptable than burning natural gas.
