How big does this guy make his burgers that he needs the meat of more than 1 whole cow to make one? 🤔

It’s one of those social media post to get people who don’t think for more than 10 milliseconds riled up.

I am enjoying the implication of this. Implying that one entire cow is turned into a single burger

When you look inside a cow, there’s actually no burger to be found. There’s definitely something fishy.

About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day.
apftwb@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
1800km/24hr is 75kph or about 45mph. Imagine a unending line of cows traveling about 45mph into a giant meat grinder.
Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That is unintentionally a really funny mental image that I could totally see in something like Renn and Stimpy
Rubanski@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
900,000 are slaughtered world wide every day or in the US alone?
Alsjemenou@lemy.nl 2 weeks ago
This is a world wide stat. The numbers for chickens reach the quantities of the post. with 200 million chickens slaughtered per day.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
One time I asked a cow if he wanted to be slaughtered and chopped into meat to be cooked and sold by McDonalds.
He didn’t ever answer me. Probably in account of the fact that cows don’t speak english. It’s just as well anyways. It’s not like it would have changed anything. It’s just cows opinion. It’s a moo point.

There’s an informal definition for cow that can apply to either sex.
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s about 8000-9000 cows per day. The US slaughters nearly 100K per day. So… mcd is fine.

They use pink slime for most of their meat.

It’s funny they think there is a significant amount of beef in a McDonalds burger. It’s mostly bread, chemical cheese and mayo derivatives.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Not to be that guy… but all cheese is chemical. You’re chemicals. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. Even Full Metal Alchemist got that.
I’m just so tired of misinformation, implying that one cheese that’s 100% milk is cheese, but another cheese made with that same cheese plus emulsifiers and preservatives is “THE CHEMICALS.” Call it processed, sure. But to imply you somehow have cheese that’s not chemicals… is just, fundamentally wrong.
borderstolutenfolk@lemmy.wtf 2 weeks ago
In colloquial language, “chemicals” is fine IMO. It’s clear from context that it’s not H2O. Just like substance abuse is only about drugs, not cornography.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So it’s basically a grilled cheese on a bun?
That sounds delicious.
ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Well, more like packaged bun of corn syrup and preservatives with a partially heated cheez™ product spread

On top of this, some restaurants are pretty upfront about it. If I remember correctly, Sonic burger patties are part beef, part mushroom.

cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You can get a lot of hamburgers from a cow, but only two breasts from a chicken.
That means for every two chicken breasts you eat, one chicken dies.
Poojabber@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Now think about eating the chicken cloaca! Thats a 1 to 1 kill ratio buddy, and let me tell you, I can eat alot of those in a single sitting.

hraegsvelmir@ani.social 2 weeks ago
Well, clearly, you grind up beef chuck to make burgers, Chuck is a diminutive form of Charlie, ergo the libs at McDonald’s have been supplementing their burgers with the cultivated remains of Charlie Kirk. The fake moo is all a plan to make everyone go woke by tricking them into cannibalism. Where’s my poster board and red string?

ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
It would be insightful if the math checked out.
You can get roughly 1600 beef patties out of one cow. Your 6.5M burgers a day use up 125,937 cows per month and there’s 95M cattle in the US.
Egonallanon@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Honestly mind boggling that 125 thousand cows are slaughtered each month just to support maccas. Once you add various other places selling beef burgers and other beef cuts and I imagine the number can get even bigger.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 3 weeks ago
In any case it’s despicable.
python@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Most fast food burgers are made from depleted milk cows, so there’s actually little overlap with places that sell beef from dedicated meat cows

The other number should be the one that's mind boggling. We see the number "million" so much and don't grasp its scale.

Mcdonalds beef patties?
Or regular?
Coz they are thinner than a pickle slice these days
frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
1/10 lbs patties like they always were
fonix232@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
That count is way off.
An average cow is 600kg, and yields 36-48% in pure meat, so around 250kg.
McDonald's standard patty is 45g, while larger patties - say, like, the Quarter Pounder - go up to 120g.
Presuming 2/3 of all burgers per cow are regular, and 1/3 are Quarter Pounder size, then we have a simple formula to solve:
2x*0.045kg + x*0.120kg = 250kg
That makes X approximately 1190, so the total number of burgers is ~3570, over double of your calculations.
ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
1600 patties per cow is a value I’ve heard since I was a kid in the 70s. It wasn’t McD specifically. Maybe the cows have grown fatter or the patties smaller over the decades.
Anyway, my point was, hundred of millions of burgers doesn’t deplete the country of cattle heads. It was an remark about orders of magnitude.
Wfh@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Bold of you to assume McD’s patties are pure meat. Probably half the weight is extra fat and pink slime, so you can easily double that.
Nollij@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
McDonald’s gets the very last stage of leftover beef from the carcass. If they don’t buy it, it goes to things like animal feed.
I don’t know how much McDonald’s-grade beef is on a cow, but I’m guessing the real numbers are how much non-McDonald’s beef people are eating, divided by the average weight of cows
FragrantGarden@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
So wrong here. They grind trimmings, the same trimmings that are ground into ground beef that sits in the counters of your local retailer. I sell this shit and can guarantee you the McDonald’s system is not my last option, those trimmings all make it into the food supply. Also you can’t feed cow parts to food animals ,it’s a BSE risk.
