Interesting. It would be nice if there were counters for things like amount of arable crops, amount of meat, etc. Strangely, the tonnage of fish caught seems to be going up at approx. 36 times the rate at which the tonnage of food produced is going up. What's happening to the other 35 tons, I wonder?

I think that it should be reasonably easy to set up a spreadsheet to calculate many more interesting statistics, using the data in the CIA World Factbook (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/)* and from the UN statistics division (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/)?
