The stat that horrifies me is how a person can consume multiple lives in one sitting. Like every two chicken wings equals one life slaughtered, and people get orders of 8 pieces at once, maybe multiple times a day or for multiple people.
I guess cows, pigs, horses, whatever are bigger animals and feed more people, but it's still messed up to me to know that one small meat snack requires the slaughter of an entire animal. It's not like we can amputate their legs and only eat that part.
I think I'd still feel the same knowing the cost of lives of other products. Like how many lives had to be lost to mine the cobalt in each of my electronic devices
Not to be that guy, but each chicken produces 4 wings.
How so? They have 2 wings each?
Equivalent of forearm and upper arm from each wing
The wings have joints. Wings aren’t usually served whole. It’s like an arm. They have the part that’s from the shoulder to elbow, then elbow to wrist, and there’s a third joint that’s like the hand but it’s too small to do anything with so it’s usually cut off and not served or just fried with the lower part of the wing because it’s mostly cartilage.
Do they take part of it off before selling whole chickens? Every chicken I've seen in a grocery store just has the one on each side
Birds have 2 whole wings, but in many cases (not all) when served, they're broken into 3 pieces with the tips discarded, giving you 4 "party wings" per bird
Party wings? I always heard them being called Buffalo Wings. Like a chicken wing is like the whole wing but a Buffalo Wing was named after the city and was like one of the few foods American actually invented.
huh resourceful.
