I think they mean it's not a staple food for the population as a whole.

I agree, it's a small amount. But you can't paint broad strokes like that. What we consider staple foods is completely different then China, Africa... The world is much larger then Canada and US.

Do you agree or disagree with the following sentence?

Lobster is not a staple food for the majority of the world's population.

Is there any food, I wonder, which is a staple for the majority of the world's population?

yes. rice (70% of people consuming as a staple food.) wheat. corn. potatoes. maybe cassava too.

I thought rice must be the most likely, but wasn't sure where to look it up.
