A deer can feed a family of four for four days. That's all the calories there are in there. Now, you don't eat just meat. But say, 10% meat. So that's 40 days, that's 9 deer per family per year at least.
That means all the deer will be gone in a few years. If they let hunters shoot them all, which they don't.
I don't think it can matter. Folks have some romantic idea about hunting your own food, but that hasn't been practical for a century by now.
This is so wildly inaccurate that I can't believe you'd make this claim.
You think a 90-150 lb animal has something like 10 lbs of meat on it?
30-60 lbs is much more accurate. Here's a chart from the PA Game Commission: https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/WildlifeSpecies/White-tailed...
Why even post if you have no idea what you're talking about? Do you think everyone at the food bank is on the carnivore diet?
It was clearly represented as a caloric measure. Then instantly worked into a reasonable diet of 10% meet, using much the same numbers you just did.
Everything I wrote was completely accurate. Please work harder to post reasonable, non-slanderous helpful comments.
And the attitude in your comment toward the program seems to be "Why bother?" But this program:
- connects people together
- provides hormone/antibiotic-free meat
- is low cost
What's wrong with that?
The pedantic negativity on HN towards good things, in comments like yours, is a real bummer.
