The given column graph compares the average calorie intake of eight different countries in 
2003. It is manifest from the graph that the highest calorie intake per person was in the USA, 
whereas the least was in Indonesia in the given year. 
The country with the highest caloric intake was the United States, with a staggering 3350 
calories consumed per day on average. Not far behind was New Zealand, where people 
consumed about 3200 calories per day during the year in question. Intakes for Spain and 
Mexico were slightly higher than 2500 calories per day. On the lower side of the spectrum 
were countries like China, at 2200 daily calories, India, at 2100 daily calories, and Somalia 
and Indonesia, both at roughly 1800 calories per day. When comparing the highest and the 
lowest values, Americans had the highest calorie intake and Indonesians had the least calorie 
intake. 
Overall, it can be seen that consumption for all countries varied between 1800 and 3350 
calories per day.
