1 kilo meat = 15 000 litres of water

Thanks for the info! Is it possible to send me more facts such as: it takes 15 000 litres of water to produce one kilo meat from an animal who is being feed with grains. 150 litres of water is needed to produce one kilo of grains??? Best Regards

that doesn't make sense, you' re saying the animal needs to eat 100 kilos of grain to gain 1 kilo of body mass. i think the figure is 1500 liters for 1 kilo of meat.

I vow to eat less meat. Soon, I will give it up completely.

There's a lot of things I'm going to try out from this big list I found:
