According to the National Chicken Council, chicken consumption in the US is 103.7 pounds per capita in 2025. Each chicken can be cut up to provide roughly four pounds of edible flesh. That means that a typical American will eat 25 whole chickens this year. Multiply that by the 340 million people living in the US and 8.5 billion chickens will live their six short weeks of life on industrial farms and then be mechanically slaughtered to became the nuggets, breasts, drumsticks and other faceless bits of meat that people will eat a hundred pounds of this year.
