It’s Meatless Monday!
The average American consumes roughly 54 pounds of beef, 46 pounds of pork and 83 pounds of chicken each year. The water alone that it takes to produce just a pound of each one of the these is about 1,799 gallons, 576 gallons and 468 gallons respectively. That’s 2,644 gallons of water to produce 3 pounds of meat! To put this into perspective, it only takes 357 gallons of water to produce 3 pounds of potatoes. If just one person gave up their burgers, bacon and nuggets, that single person would save 162,486 gallons of water annually! Who says one person can’t make a difference? More and more studies are showing that consumption of animal products is one of the largest reasons for some pretty serious environmental issues today, as well as some health concerns. Take action by reducing your consumption of unsustainable animal products! Here are some fun recipes using beans, which can offer as much as or more protein than some meats. https://www.meatlessmonday.com/…/our-top-10-favorite-bean-…/
