6.5 million burgers

millions of cows

I'm not an expert on the meat industry by any means but I'm pretty sure you're getting more than three or four burgers from a single cow

a cow gives about 500 pounds of ground beef. which is 2000 0.25 pound patties!

that's 3250 cows.

Still feels real bad when you put it that way :sadness:

3k cows die every single day just for McDonald’s to continue operating? That’s sickening

[-] GiorgioBoymoder@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

yeah something like that.

Well to be fair a lot of that beef likely comes from baby cows as well

The pieces of the baby corpse sold off as veal are expensive, the rest gets ground up. A baby cow is typically very inexpensive since it's considered a wasteproduct of milk production.

Plus at least 500 pigs and maybe 10,000 chickens.

MvDonald’s hamburgers and cheeseburgers are 1/10 pound, and they probably sell more of those.
