  5. I think upto 400 million world people hunt, fish, collect vegetarian food from forest and have free food. Just my opinion. No confirmation.

  8. Bull elephants weigh 8 tons standing 12 feet tall and they eat 300 kg per day which is 3% of body weight. People also eat close to 2% - 3% of body weight per day.

    I bet there are tons of other species that as a whole eat far more than humans do.

    For example, there are 163,876,428,562 earthworms (source) in the world. Earthworms eat 1/3 of their body weight in a day. So they consume about 0.13 oz a day, for a total of 485 WTCs per year.
