I like your rationale above: 43 m. people starving, we can solve it by giving up beer or war. Which would you choose?!

My actual thought sequence when seeing the second and third images was:

Nice! We can end the war in Iraq and give everyone free beer!

Wait! Should we stop drinking beer and feed 43 million people?!

Perhaps I should have used my associative logic skills and determined that we could end the war in Iraq and then feed 43 million people.

In any case, I’m not sure that way the facts are presented here is value neutral. I would imagine that most people would interpret the bottom image as advocating less beer consumption.

Josh – I find these visual representations of statistics useful for getting a comparative sense of the magnitude of big numbers like these, not for advocating one thing over another. In other words, I’m not trying to suggest that beer is “good or bad.” The top chart depicts total consumption, not per capita consumption.

Also, the top picture is *very* misleading. In terms of per capita beer consumption, the US isn’t even in the top 10. China isn’t even in the top 30.
