Eat less beef and other water-consuming foods: The facts here were a surprise to me. Here’s how much water it takes to produce a pound of :
■Potatoes: 24 gallons ■Apples: 49 gallons ■Chicken: 815 gallons ■Pork: 1,630 gallons ■Beef: 5,214 gallons
Holy Cow!! maybe the Indians knew something after all yes it Takes 5,214 gallons of water to produce just one pound of beef. That’s the same amount of water used in six months’ worth of showers!
Of course, cows don’t drink an inordinate amount of water; it just takes a lot of water to grow the corn that they eat.
