How many chickens lived their lives in a cage smaller than themselves only to get ground together with their friends to make 33,000 lbs of dino nuggets? The meat industry and the way we care for livestock need a complete overhaul.
one chicken -> 1.4 lbs cooked meat
33,000 lbs / 1.4 lbs = 23,571
edit: nuggets are more than cooked meat: https://sentientmedia.org/how-are-chicken-nuggets/
That is a 3lb chicken. Cornish cross chickens (which is what they would be using for something like this)would be slaughtered at 9-10 weeks which would make them 10-14 lbs.
So using your ratios above, 1 chicken yields 4.5 lbs of cooked meat, which means 7,333.333333333333 chickens.
It’s substantial less chickens.
Although the amount of harvested meat would be higher because they grind everything into a paste as you noted.
Also, multiply your number by two because they immediately send the males to the grinder.
Probably about 6000. And it took about 9 weeks of hell for them to meet that fate.
