I like the Chinese point of view on this subject. That being, if you were on an island with nine other people, and there is only enough food for ten days, how long could you survive if you eliminated the other nine people?
Well, food for ten days for ten people would feed one person for 100 days assuming it's dry goods or canned food.

You might be able to stretch that a bit if you eat the other people too.
