I got soul but I'm not a soldier

Since when does a 1lb of beef only feed one person? It feeds my whole family and yields leftovers. People who eat meat don’t just eat slabs of meat; we eat grains as well.

Also, world hunger is the result of poor distribution of wealth not lack of food. I care about the environment, about world hunger, and about animals, but I’m probably never going to be vegan/vegetarian. Going veg works for some people but not for everyone.

Gah, random internet images!!

I had the exact same thought about the 1lb of beef feeding 1 person. Even if you’re planning to feed meat as a main dish to a crowd of people, the standard rule of thumb is to have 1/4 lb per person… and unless that crowd is a group of teenage boys, there will always be leftovers.

Also… how does 15 pounds of grains only feed a couple of people? With 15 pounds of any grain, you could feed a metric shit ton of people OR several-to-many people over a long-ass period of time.

I have a feeling this infographic was put together by a well-meaning someone whose idea of cooking is microwaving an Annie’s frozen meal
