Answer 1

Answer: 80,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on data from the World Bank in 2008, Americans consume a disproportionate amount of calories in relation to their population with Americans consuming 24% of the world's energy while only being 5% of the population.

It was estimated that Americans were consuming 200 billon more calories than was required and that this was enough to feed an additional 80 million people.
