What is your formula?  Why 70 servings from 50
pounds of "muscle meat"?  I would have thought
that it would be closer to 100 servings, if the
pork were the only meat and closer to 200
servings if there were other meats served along
with the pork.

To my way of thinking, 1/2 pound of meat is a
very generous serving for almost anyone.  And
a 1/4 pound of meat along with several other
1/4 pounds of other sorts of meat would be very
very ample.  When I do a multi-course banquet and
serve about 1 pound of combined meats per person,
they usually go away so full that they don't want
to eat again for several days.
