The Numbers Don't Add Up

The McDonald's Problem

McDonald's serves approximately 69 million customers per day across 40,000 locations worldwide. The average McDonald's uses roughly 250 pounds of beef per day. That's 10 million pounds of beef -- every single day. [1]

Now add Burger King (18,000 locations), Wendy's (7,000), Five Guys, Shake Shack, In-N-Out, and the thousands of other burger chains. Add school cafeterias, hospital kitchens, grocery stores, food service companies. The total U.S. beef consumption is approximately 27 billion pounds per year. [2]
