> A deer can feed a family of four for four days. That's all the calories there are in there.

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?

Try to read the rest of the comment before shooting off.

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.

Assuming a deer with 43,000 calories, your math approximates to nearly 2700 calories/person/day, which seems like an awful lot for a family of 4.

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.
