    Quick percentage
    Quick question, can someone double check I'm right?
    If 1667g of something will feed a 60kg person for a day,
    can I assume that over the course of a year the person would need 608,455g.
    If this is the case, is 60,000g / 100 = 600 (1%)Then the person would need
    608455/600= 1014.1% of their bodyweight in food a year?

    Hope this makes sense!

    Mike, yes, that's exactly right. Good job!

    And based on some other similar questions we've seen on here in the recent past, I'm guessing the "something" is phytoplankton. Yuck!
