How much food lab

1. Follow the instructions to figure out how much land is required to support your nutritional requirements.

2. Within a group of 4 create a comparison of nutritional styles
for example
1. Modern day omnivore LDC (lesser developed county  ex. Ethiopia)
2.Neanderthal (you will need to research approximate population size)
3. Vegetarian (United States)
4. Modern day omnivore MDC (more developed country ex. United States)


Figure out based on the population of the country you used for your analysis

a.  do they currently have enough farm land to feed their population
b. Based on the amount of land available versus the amount needed decide if there is a surplus or a demand for food in the nation you decided.  Using market values for the diet you created calculate how much money would be required to feed the population. (Surplus food = $ in the bank)
