That's insane. And that's the average - there must be a ton of people above that. And note that Western Europe isn't that much better - I live there and where are these people ? it's a heavy day for me when I eat more than 2500 kcal.
I mean thinking about how many overweight and obese Americans I see in a day, that doesn't actually surprise me all that much. No shit as I was typing this a 250-300+lbs man just walked past my window. And I see people that size regularly.
... In 2005 the average American was consuming 4000 calories per day?
That was the height of "super-size me" in fast food

This says "supply", which could just mean total produced per person, not necessarily consumed.
i.e., waste could be (and is) very high.
