The correct answer is USA. Among the given options, the United States of America consistently ranks among the countries with the highest average daily caloric intake per person globally.

– High per capita food consumption is often correlated with developed economies and dietary habits that include high consumption of processed foods, meat, and sugars.
– According to data from organizations like the FAO, average daily caloric supply per person in the USA is typically over 3600 kcal, which is higher than Australia, Netherlands, and significantly higher than Saudi Arabia.

While many factors influence food consumption, including economic development, dietary patterns, availability, and cost of food, the USA’s high average intake is a well-documented phenomenon. Other countries like Ireland, Belgium, and Turkey also report very high per capita caloric intake.
