hmm..
let’s say that we’re all flamingos suddenly. flamingos eat about 60g (2.1 oz) of food/day to remain healthy {[seaworld.com]}. this includes the shrimp they eat, but also algae, diatoms, and small insects.
let’s give a generous estimate that flamingos eat, say, 1 oz of shrimp/day (i couldn’t find any info on google about HOW much shrimp they normally eat). there’s about 11 shrimp/4 oz, so per day that’d be almost 3 shrimp/day.
in human terms... i’m going to trust somebody on reddit and hope i’m right... 10% of energy from what you eat gets transferred to your body. to get your fully pink and beautiful complexion, you’d have to eat 300 (?) shrimp/day.
correct me if i’m wrong please. i’m not an expert on r/theydidthemath.
ooh, i might submit that there!
and yes, i know you weren’t actually asking, but tbh i’m bored and i have a math test next week so...
