"The General Accounting Office (GAO) reports that individual farms 'can generate more raw waste than the populations of some U.S. cities.' All told, farmed animals in the United States produce 130 times as much waste as the human population -- roughly 87,000 pounds of shit per second." (Emphasis in the original.)
-Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals, p. 174
