How many cows are killed each day?

Let's do a bit calculation.
A cow weighs about 1 ton. If 50% of its body weight is not consumable, we are left with 500 kgs for consumption. If every person eats 2 ons of flesh a day, then a cow is for 250 persons each day.

If there are 6 billion people on the planet, and 90% of them are flesh eaters, we have 5,4 billion people. Out of this number, let's say 70% are 5 years of old or more, then we have 3,78 billion people ready to go out to lunch today to have their flesh.

Now how much cow will have to go today: 3,78b/250 = 15,12 million cows sacrificed each day for the sake of this human made from the image of God.
