Write 1 page with APA style on Average Consumption of Calories in the US. China has 1.2 billion people. There is a total of 2.37 billion acres of land in China, of which only 710 million is of agricultural quality. If all of the Chinese had a diet like yours, how much land would be needed? Is it realistic for them to eat this much?

Solution

1200000000 X 1.3873 = 1664760000

1.2 billion people using the same calories as me would require 1.66476 billion acres of land. However, 710 million is agriculturally usable hence there is a deficit of 954. 76 million acres of land. Therefore, it is not realistic for people in China to eat the same amount of food like me.
