Of course, something that eats cows that eat a shitton of plastic, will have even more plastic in it.
But that doesn't mean that it's healthy to eat an animal that has been fed (assuming they are slaughtered at 3 years, and ignoring the climate impact, the ethics of slaughtering an animal in its youth, etc)..
41 kg of plastic
I think if you don’t count the culling of baby calves the average age is ~6years so like 82kg of plastic.
Thanks for your feedback, I was guesstimating off the top of my head. On doing some research, I see meat cows are usually slaughtered at 18 months - 2 years old in the Netherlands.
5-6 years is the number I see for dairy cows.
Ah that’s the one I must’ve been thinking of, thanks.
