Using the yellow box doesn't seem like the best idea for this specific type of quiz.

Perhaps, but then it’d mostly just end up being the same as the most populous 20 countries. Honestly, the only thing I found interesting with the data is how some populous countries are pushed down the list because of lower average caloric intake, i.e. Japan.

Definitely surprised that Egypt didn't make the list, especially over the DRC. Nice quiz!
