Have you ever thought, my husband and I couldn’t possibly eat ½ a pastured pig in a year?
When you sit down to do a little math….oh, but wait! Let me do that for you! You’ll be surprised at how much pork you really do eat in a year.
So…let me break it down for you without getting too complicated.
The average American eats about 52 lbs of pork a year. Mostly in the form of bacon.
Mmmm…bacon. I have lots of bacon lovers in my family. And who wouldn’t love more bacon?!
Okay… got a little side tracked there on the bacon.
52 lbs a year for you is only 1lb of pork a week. Add in your husband’s share and that’s 104 lbs of bacon, oh, I mean, pork a year.
I bet now you’re thinking,
So how much meat DO you get from a ½ a pig?
+/- 65 lbs.
OR
8 months supply of pasture pork
Now, if you’re a carnivore like me, I can tell you now, that you’re going to consume your pork a little faster. But if you eat your meat more like you’d add a condiment to your salad, it’ll last you considerably longer.
Carnivore Portion
8 oz
Condiment Portion
2 oz
More than likely you have one of each in your household. Which gives you the option of about 104 meals for you and your husband.
At two meals a week, ½ a pastured pork share could last you up to 1 year.
104 meals! Yah, sure, only 104 MEALS!! How am I going to come up with enough different meals to not be sick and tired of pork by the end of the year?
