Quick Facts on Burgers
- Every year, Americans eat an amount of beef equal to more than 72 BILLION quarter-pounders. It takes more than 36 million cows to produce all that beef.
- It takes an average of 600 gallons of water to make every quarter-pound
burger.
- More than a pound of grain goes into making that quarter-pound
of meat. And while that grain was growing, 1.2 pounds of soil
washed away from erosion—soil that can cause big trouble
somewhere downstream.
- One third of the land in the world is used for raising livestock.
- In 1997, cattle in the United States produced 1.2 billion tons of manure, the same weight as more than 3 million 747 jumbo jets.
