Where are they all
What I want to know is where are all the chickens and the cows and the pigs and the sheep
See I have worked it out
There are 50 billion people in the world now not all of them eat meat I would say that if you take away the those of us that don’t eat meat because of there religion and those of us that are vegetarian think it would be fair to say that you would be left with about 20 billion people
Ok let’s start with the chickens
On average two people will eat one chicken a week now I am guessing but I would say it takes about a year for a chicken to grow to full size
So if two people are eating one a week you would have to have 52 starting from one week old and then two weeks old and so on until you get to one year so as not to run out and a new chicken to replace the one that got eaten two complete the circle
Now 20 billion divided by two = 10 billion x 52 = 520 billion chickens now that’s a lot of chickens now I know that they are small but there are 470 billion more of them than us
now when you add to that the cows and to try and keep this short I will work it out for you
60P to a C 20 billion divided by 60 = 1.2 billion lets say four years to full grown that’s 208 weeks 208 x 1.2 billion =249.6 billion cows
Sheep = 368.2
Pigs = 298.5
520.0 + 249.6 +368.2+298.5 1436.3 billion domesticated animals
So that would mean that somewhere in the world there are1436.3 billion domesticated animals
50 billion of us and 1436.3 billion of them
Where are they all
On this basis we would see herds of them everywhere look how much space a farm takes up even at 1436 animals to a farm there would still have to be a billion farms
So I think that not all of the meat that we eat is meat
I mean why is a lot of what we buy covered in breadcrumbs and shaped to look like chicken
I think it is grown in vats genetically to look and taste like meat and they are keeping it a secret from us because if we found out
We would only want to eat real meat
If that happened there would not be enough to go round and the cost of meat would be astronomical
Or we could be eating the dead how do know they burn them when they go through them doors they could be cooking them
Or rats they bread quick enough
I maybe wrong what you think
