350 million Americans
6,688 million people. Americans represent 5% of the worlds population.
If Americans represented 34% of the worlds population weight, the rest of the world would represent 66% of the worlds population weight.
Lets pretend that the average American weighed 300 lbs. Americans weigh 105 billion pounds then. The world weight for humans would be 315 billion pounds, and the rest of the world would weigh 210 billion pounds.
That would make the average Non-American 31 pounds. That's not underweight. That's not worst-famine-in-Ethiopia-ever weight. That's a 2 year old child. The
average human is not 2 years old. I'm pretty sure that the average human age could never reach 2 years old ever - it's not even a theoretically feasible number.
Those numbers ARE necessarily inaccurate. This took 5 minutes to figure out.
