Flashes: January 29, 2014..."Super" Bowl

The NFL, in 267 games every year uses more energy than the annual consumption of about half the countries of the world.

Super Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving in food consumption by Americans.

Americans will consume the wings of around 625,000,000 chickens on Super Bowl Sunday alone.  Most if not all will be from CAFO like this:


Each chicken wing requires around 5 gallons of water to produce, meaning the Super Bowl consumption will have required around 3 billion gallons of water....approximately the annual water consumption of the Dominican Republic.

Enjoy the journey!
