Burger King cancels misleading ads


Burger King has cancelled advertisements for its Whopper burgers after facing criticisms for telling whoppers about the environmental impact of cattle.

The company’s goal to reduce methane and produce a more eco-friendly Whopper is a positive, acknowledges Frank Mitloehner, University of California-Davis air quality Extension specialist, department of animal science.

But much of the information in the advertisement is inaccurate, he said.
