I thought it was 16..16 pounds of grain goes to produce 1 lb of beef
Also
--The amount of grain used as animal feed in US per day can feed the population of the entire world 5 times (Hare Krishna booklet)
--If just 2 seconds of the cruelty that a hog/duck/chicken/calf/cow has to endure 24/7 is somehow applied to a puppy, the owner of said puppy would sue the **** out of the person who applied the cruelty. Just 2 seconds. But the great white man has spoken: "Livestock animals can be made to endure any kind of pain, since the ballmighty Gawd has told us that He created all those animals for us to eat".
--Cancers and cardiovascular problems would go way way down if the US gave up (even cut down on) meat. Europeans eat meat, but not in the massive quantities that the Land of the Free does. And Europeans get cancers and CV problems to a much lesser degree.
