This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

US above Japan is definitely a surprise.

Japan produces a lot of rice but only ~7 million tons is distributed domestically.

Only if you expected the metric to be per capita. Given the population difference it isn't surprising at all.
