Humans eat food, whilst cars “eat” fuel.
This interesting series of facts puts it into perspective how effiecent humans are compared to vehicles. If you paid attention during biology / science you’d know that energy is measured in calories (or joules) and no matter which way you look at it (whether it’s petrol, wood, a burger or a patch of grass) energy is energy.
And as GOOD puts it,
So, how many calories are in a gallon of gas?

Great post thanks for sharing. I have query regarding human intake as eating trends have dramatically gone down (IMO). People are more concerned about the way they look then the way they eat. The calorie intake could be lesser. Nevertheless, the post was informative and illustration was excellent.

Glad you enjoyed it.
What you say is very true… diet isn’t targetted as much as it should when it comes to physical problems like obesity.
Nice point.
