So from that page I did a rough calculation - the following is in billions of tons of the animals alive in 2006:
Chickens 34
Cattle 560
Sheep 70
Ducks 2
Pigs 75
Total 741 (animals)
Humans 420
Looks like there are nearly two measures of livestock weight for every one of humans.
- beloch 9y ago~7.6 billion humans weigh 420 billion tons? That would mean the average human weighs 55 tons! Talk about an epidemic of extreme morbid obesity!
- qume 9y agoGood spotting, for humans that's Million tons. It's going to be quite some time until humans weigh 55 tons, but if you interpret the graph like people pitching to investors like to, we'll get there.
