How much meat is in rice?
Recently, I happened to see another zombie documentary for fighters against ZOG - City 2009.
The film is beautiful and interesting, it reveals the main problems associated with the overpopulation of the planet, the poor quality of products and the enslavement of this planet by oligarchs.
And an interesting thought sounded in this film - in 1 kilogram of beef contains 50,000 liters of water.
This is explained quite simply (it is not necessary to read): the cows that are spent on these kilograms are raised on an industrial scale in special fences where poor animals feed in full dirt, instead of environmentally friendly grass specially brought from corn and wheat. But corn and wheat, too, did not just grow, they were also grown industrially in infertile fields, using chemicals and a lot of water. As a result, many African animals died from drought.
In general, the very next day I was visited by a thought that turned out to be funny enough to share it with someone else ...
So, if a kilogram of meat contains 50,000 liters. water, is it possible to say that in a unit of any product contains as much resources as wasted in its manufacture?
Let's look at your favorite vegetarian dish - Rice.
Let's say one average Chinese man grows 1 ton of rice per season. During this time, he consumes 10 kg of rice and 300 liters of water. Rice grows in a natural swamp and therefore we will not consider water in the swamp.
Total for the production of 1 kg of rice you need to spend 10 g of rice and 0.3 liters of water.
However, rice still needs to be taken to the city and sold. The Chinese himself does not want to do this and sells rice to resellers.
A reseller transports 1 ton of rice in one day.
On this day, the reseller eats 400 grams of rice, 200 grams of beef and 3 liters of water. In addition, his car consumes 10 liters of gasoline for this day.
Total for transportation of 1 kg of rice you need to spend 0.4 grams of rice, 0.2 grams of beef, 3 milliliters of water and 1 milliliter of gasoline.
Rice goes to the “Central Rice Shop”, which sells 100 kg per day. The seller of the store, as a resident of the city, consumes a much larger diet per day: 200 grams of rice, 200 grams of beef, 3 liters of water, 200 grams of chicken, 2 eggs. Also, once a week, the seller consumes alcohol in the amount of 2 bottles of beer and uses the services of a brothel.
Total for the sale of 1 kg of rice must be spent2 grams of rice, 2 grams of beef, 3 milliliters of water, 2 grams of chicken, 0.02 eggs, 0.14 liters of beer, 0.14 sex.
To summarize? 1 kilogram of rice lying on the counter of the supermarket contains:
12.4 grams of rice / 2.2 grams of beef / 0.33 liters of water / 2 grams of chicken / 0.02 eggs / 0.14 liters of beer / 0.14 sex
In order to get rice in our country, you need to feed logisticians, transporters, state employees (taxes hi) and a lot of bribe takers and officials. Feel free to increase the performance by 10 times.
Now think:
1) In 2008, b28.4 thousand tons were imported from Russia to China. rice. In order to produce all this, China spent resources: 55,290 cows / 2,073,720 liters of water / 2,090 hens / 125,680 eggs / 879,760 liters of fuel / 1,759,520 bottles of beer / (most interesting) 879,760 times of sex.
2) In order to feed an average vegetarian throughout the year, approximately 120 kg of rice is needed. And this is 2.64 kg of beef, 2.4 kg of chicken, 24 eggs, 168 times sex with a Chinese prostitute.
3) This is only rice, but what is contained in more difficult to manufacture products?
4) The average Russian office manager consumes more than he can produce.
5) To feed one average family that consumes beef in the main diet, it is necessary to grow one cow a year.
6) If you produce something, then everything that you consume in ordinary life can be considered resources necessary for the production of your product.
7) The year of work of a programmer (such as myself) costs the planet an imaginary of ~ 30 kg of beef, ~ 8 hens, ~ 60 kg of rice.
Bonus:
It would be funny if in the near future some IT company declared its products environmentally friendly, stating that the programmers involved in their development consumed exclusively environmentally friendly products grown without harming the rainforests when writing code.
For me - all these conclusions can serve as not bad food for the mind.
PS: Part of the data was taken from open sources, the other half was thought up and invented, from which the essence was not lost.
