Tens of millions of people — and millions of acres of farmland — rely on the Colorado River’s water. But as its supply shrinks, these farmers get more water from the river than entire states.
Idk, but it really is a crazy stat. Especially when you take into account that the US only exports 11% of domestically produced beef and we import additional beef. 12% of the population appears to be subsisting off pretty much just beef.
Yet again irrigating to feed cattle which apparently only 10% of people eat.
It’s 12% of Americans eat half the beef consumed every day. Of course, that 12% is mostly people 50-65.
Is gen X addicted to steak? Wtf?

Strange to imagine. I think I have beef once every two weeks or so? I wonder where that puts me on the scale of beef eaters.
