When out shopping i saw on the front of the quakers oats box per serving (a ridiculously small 40g serving, i might add) 100g of C02.

100g of CO2 for just 40g of porridge oats.

Not sure what you're trying to say?

40g of oats releases 100g of CO2? Or gives that off during its production?

Are you sure you haven't misread something..?

I assume it was these:

because cars are EVIL bringers of doom and destruction also easy to tax so they get the stick, I think being a petrolhead that eats beef and drinks milk are viewed as the spawn of Satan with all the CO2 that spew out our cars and the cow farts** we are responsible for, from wanting to eat beef.

  • i knows its cows burps that give of the methane gas but the eco-hippys never speak the truth anyway lol

the worlds problems can be solved by 3 things

1) Nuclear fusion so power things with no engine
2) ablity to produce high octane fuel from nothing but air and hope
3) bullets for eco mentalists, anybody in a G,wizz and so on lol

Because they cant tax oats to an insane price because people will stop eating them, if they tax cars and blame it on their emissions people will still drive them and just getting steadily poorer.

If theres heaps of money to be made by taxing it they'll say its destroying the world and all the little polar bears will burst into flames and die forever. And all this can be solved by paying more for fuel, even if we still use as much, duhh!
