Question

How many cows a week does an average american eat?

Answer 1

I agree with the previous answer. The average adult in the U.S. consumes only a few pounds of beef in a week, whereas an entire cow obviously can produce more than just a few pounds of meat.

Answer 2

none a average american can not eat a whole cow !

Answer 3

Hmm.  I probably average a pound of beef a week.  So, a 900 pound steer would last 900 weeks, or 17 years and four months. I suppose the question becomes how average am I at a pound of beef a week.   Even if I ate a pound of beef a day (which would be an awful lot), I'd be eating about 8% of a 900 pound steer a week.

Answer 4

The average American consumes 67lbs of beef a year. A slaughtered cow after processing will yield 470-520lbs of edible meat. Do the math.

If you can't:

67/52(weeks per year) = 1.29lbs a week rounded off. Not even close to a whole cow much less "cows"

Answer 5

I used to work in at Outback steakhouse (mmmm mid rare filets goood!! Ha ha) and they said they go through 20,000 a week.  Nothing better than a warm and wilggling tender steak  !!

Answer 6

Let's see...the average side of beef is 400 lbs.  This will last the average family of four one year.  So, the average person eats a little under 2 lbs of beef a week at home.  This doesn't count eating out.  

Answer 7

.02 cows

Answer 8

How many cows? Are you sure that's what you meant? Or are you just being a smart ****?

Answer 9

Cows are not usually eaten, they are use for the dairy industry.

A fraction of a steer would be eaten. Perhaps 1 percent.
