No, it’s 202 million chickens every day. It’s 140k every minute. There’s 300M people in the US. Think of how many chickens you need to slaughter a day.

- jjallen 3y agoAmericans don’t eat .66 chickens a day. If we truly slaughter that many then they are feeding other things too.

- bfung 3y agoIf chickens were people, 2/3 of the US population would get slaughtered everyday. crazy.
