How many animals on average, do we eat in our lifetime?
Answers:
I used an "animals saved" calculator and entered someone 75 years old and it calculated that they would have saved:
10.306 cows
2262.4 chickens
25.138 pigs
75.415 turkeys
6.0332 ducks
4273.5 fish
Total: 6652.9 animals
Puts it in a little more perspective on how "one day at a time" adds up - doesnt' it?

see if you can find a copy of the human footprint programme that was on Channel 4 a few weeks ago. they paraded all the things we would consume in a lifetime. it included 3 cows i think and bunch of pigs and a barn fulll of chickens!
I do not know, but asked that way sounds horrible. I am not really some meat eater, but let me quietly have my pepper steak from time to time.
I don't know but probably alot. I am a vegetarian, though.
Over 30,000 in a life time
Much more worrying is how many insects we eat when we are asleep.... just thought i would leave you with that image before bed time
Well.. I'd say... 1 1/2 lbs of meat per week. 6 lbs per month. 72 lbs per year.
In our adult lives, starting with age 18... until the age of about 78.... so 60 years.......4,320 lbs....
That's equivalent to about 9.6 cows (that would be assuming that they weighed about 500 lbs each. Getting 450 lbs of meat per cow...
I read once that if you don't eat meat, you save 90 animals a year!!
I know that it's about 258 chickens in 15 years i think?
1784
The average american eats 15 cows, 24 hogs, 900 chickens, 12 sheep and 1000 lbs of other assorted animals in there lifetime.
