[91,000,000,000 (91 Billion) divided by 365 days per year yields 249,315,068 (249 million) pounds of meat per day. 75,000,000 (75 million) goes into that daily number 3.3242 times which yields the time numbers above.]<br /><br />147 days, 13 hours and 57 minutes into 2012, we American meat eaters alone had deforested the entire planet which we proceeded to do an additional 1.5 times that year alone. [36,794,240,000 (36 Billion) divided by 91,000,000,000 (91 Billion) yields .404332 which, when multiplied by 365 days in the year give us 147.581292 (147 days, 13 hours, 57 minute, as above.)]<br /><br />I'm showing my raw numbers here because I know that UK vs USA nomenclature for higher order numbers is different and this way you folks playing along at home can enjoy the confirmation of The Cameron Intelligence Deficit along with the rest of us.<br /><br />Thank you for playing and, Good Day!<br /><br />c andrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
