To produce just one pound of beef, you need:

-Twelve pounds of grain; enough to make eight loaves of bread or 24 plates of spaghetti.
-2,500 gallons of water; enough to grow fifty pounds of fruits and vegetables. In fact, fifty percent of water consumed in the US is used to grow feed and provide drinking water for livestock.
-Enough land to grow food for fourteen times as many people as can be fed if the land is used to raise cattle.

Just in case you didn't know.
