The world bank attempts to measure consumption from all sources, not just those that result from market transactions. Which is a very good reason why it is inappropriate to source a number for the US from a survey that doesn't attempt to measure consumption that way. I understand that the US isn't the primary focus of the project, nor should it be, but in the absence of good data it would be better to put N/A as it did for several other countries, rather than a misleading statistic. There's some good information on measuring consumption starting on page 91 here: http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/452741468778781879/pdf/multi-page.pdf http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/452741468778781879...
