Black Sheep in Pointes

“Mathematically speaking, if each of the 317 million people in the United States gave up poultry alone, that grain could be used to feed roughly 356 million of the world’s hungry a plant-based diet..That’s a quarter of the world’s hungry that could be fed for a year if Americans alone gave up chicken. If you think that number is impressive, consider the impact if we gave up all three. The meat, including chicken, in an average American’s diet translates to roughly 1892 pounds of grain. If everyone stopped consuming meat, that would translate to enough grain to feed 1.4 billion people a plant-based diet. That’s enough to feed the world’s hungry more than one and a half times over, if we could just allocate the grain used to raise livestock for direct human consumption instead.”  - (x)
