What the World Eats
A lot of meat in Hong Kong, and virtually none in India. Argentina, of course, big beef eaters.
In the US, by calories it looks like not a lot of produce is being eaten, but actually it's 27% by weight.
according to that data it seems the reason america is fat now is the increase in vegetable oils.

Average daily calories of 3600 for Americans? That can't be right. That means you're either a serious athlete or morbidly obese. Seems way too high.
other? what's other?

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are out numbered by those who vote for a living !!!!!!!
Why is everybody eating so much grain !?

Ha, ha, I had the exact same question! Alcohol, pulses, and chewed-up pencils.
Yup. Americans should switch to olive oil. I recommend the Carapelli and Carbonell brands. (Bertolli is good as well)
I'm currently using Carbonell but I prefer (genuine) Italian olive oils. In any case, I believe Carbonell is not owned by a multinational so that's nice. It's good oil but not my favorite olive oil.

Carbonell is Spanish oil. Go with Carbonell Regium for the highest quality.
If you want 100% Italian oil go with Carapelli.
Bertolli is usually a blend (Italian mixed with varying amounts of Spanish, Greek, Tunisian, and others). Still high quality.
