Where does all the meat come from?

submitted by anon to askanon 4 monthsJan 13, 2024 23:22:55 ago (+3/-2)     (askanon)

If I go to the Costco meat section there are 3 rib eyes per package and lets say theres about 40 packages. 120 rib eyes. These get restocked throughout the day as I've never been to costco and they were out of rib eyes. Now thats just one costco out of 33 costco's in my state. Thats 3,960 rib eyes for Costco in one state. One cow yields about 20-25 rib eyes according to google. So lets say hypothetically 160 cows have to die per day in my state to keep the rib eye stock up.

160x50states is 8,000. 8,000 cows per day need to die to keep costco meat section stocked up.
Now thats just costco, we're not counting other grocery outlets that also sell rib eyes. In addition we have steakhouses and all kinds of restaurants that sell rib eye.
Where are all these damn cows coming from? We would have to have millions of cows on earth, thousands slaughtered daily to keep meat on the table. The numbers don't add up jim

900,000 cows a day are given Life by humans. They are given a life that they would not have if there were not meat eaters and that life is full of very good health care for the duration of their life. Humans give almost a million cattle good lives every single day because of the meat industry. We don't slaughter them we give them life that they would not have. In fact it's highly likely cows would be extinct if it were not for the meat industry. We save the cows by eating meat

You need to take some trips down I-40, I-12 and US-287 just to start. You begin to see where the cows come from.

Driven down some of them highways. Mostly dairy cows but I tell ya what, not 8k cows for slaughtering per day. You’d have to have damn near calf being born every minute.

Mostly dairy cows? Lol ok. Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about.

About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day. For chickens, the daily count is extremely large – 202 million chickens every day.Sep 26, 2023

This is for the whole world. Our burgers and rib eyes are probably only half that.

I don’t much care for the morality of it discussed in that website but 900k cows per day. Wow. That’s an enormous amount to comprehend.

Human mortality rate is roughly 150k per day!

You're responding to a troll post. That makes you fucking retarded.

How is this a troll post you dipshit? Heaven forbid someone ask a simple question trying to understand the world around us from a different perspective. If you pulled your head out of your ass for a second you would realize food doesn’t just spawn in a grocery store.

Wait, Canada and Mexico? Would have never guessed. I guess I was just thinking it was all farmed locally

It's all the same meat. It just travels store to store like art pieces through museums.
