Only if you think that those 2B people don't have enough to eat BECAUSE "Americans eat too much" ... which is kind of a stretch, don't you think? To me, this sort of sounds like "It rained yesterday when Joey was wearing blue pants." ...

That is: if Americans ate less, would the 2B number go up or down?
