Eatlas
The foods and where the numbers come from
Eatlas has 108 foods and drinks. A daily answer has to be one you can trust, so every one of them comes from a published source, named here and at the bottom of each puzzle.
Most foods use the food balance sheets of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), through Our World in Data. They measure the food available to eat per person each year, averaged over 2019 to 2023 so that one odd year does not decide the answer. Beer and spirits use the World Health Organization's alcohol data. Coffee, tea and chocolate use dedicated consumption tables, because the FAO figures for them are distorted by trade and processing.
To keep answers fair, countries with fewer than 1 million people are left out, along with trading hubs such as Hong Kong and Singapore, where food passing through the port looks like food eaten. Foods whose figures did not survive a check of their top ten were dropped. This page lists the foods but never the rankings, so it will not spoil a puzzle.
