Using this database of food consumption data the blog Canibais e Reis kindly put together, I calculated all values for which the US was at least 2 standard deviations from the world average. Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't.
Here are the outliers in standard deviations from the world mean:
| Poultry.Meat..kcal.day…2003 | 2.5 |
| Soybean.Oil..kcal.day…2003 | 4.5 |
| Sugar…Sweeteners..kcal.day…2003 | 2.1 |
| Sugar..Raw.Equivalent..kcal.day…2003 | 2.1 |
| Vegetable.Oils..kcal.day…2003 | 2.1 |
Lots of sugar and Omega 6 fatty acids. Not very healthy.
