I'm confused about the table in the middle of the article. If rice and corn have the same amount of kcal per 100g (365), and rice has a higher yield per acre than corn (7700lbs vs. 6900lbs), how does rice have a lower Calories per acre number? Is there another conversion I'm not seeing?

Thank you, fixed. I made an error in unit conversion. Yield figures for corn are published in bushels/acre, which I had to convert into pounds and then divide by calories per gram. I'll double check all the other results.
