I'm sorry, 50% is higher than actual. But still, is 3750 for US vs 2550 for Indonesia (about the same population), or 2800 for Japan, or 2990 for China any indication of a significant caloric intake difference?

Further, the type and quality of the food is likely much lower for the US group consider just the relative carbonated, sugared beverage.

These numbers include losses and waste. In the most extreme case the US could be wasting a third of their food, while achieving the same intake. So these numbers imply very little about actual calorie intake.

How much of that relates to the average body size? I imagine smaller people eat less.

I hypothesise a feedback loop by which people that eat more grow in size. I have conducted some experiments on myself which are consistent with this theory.

Average male height is 5'2" in Indonesia. The US is 5'9". How has your feedback loop of eating more helped grow and shrink your vertical height?

I assumed radial growth

Did you test any genetics self-adjustments?
