Given that there are over 1 billion Catholics in the world, and that the Catholic Church literally believes that the sacrament of communion transforms the eucharist wafer into the body of Christ through transubstiation, I estimate that over the course of 1 year, people eat over 14.5 million pounds of Jesus.
I am calculating that each wafer weighs 1/1000th of a pound, and assuming that 28% of Catholics are churchgoers....that then equates to 39.5 Boeing 747's which weigh in at 184 tons each. That's a lot of Jesus.
