2. Seems like a flawed measure...

Omnivores can get a wider variety of nutrients with more energy efficiency than pure carnivores. This is why even polar bears eat some vegetation.

What animal primarily preys on people for food? What percent of our population is lost to predators and not disease annually?

If we are that low, an increase in what predator could cause a population collapse or a decrease would cause a population explosion (think Kaibob situation when people removed predators of deer who then over step the vegetation and caused a population collapse).

What predatory animal has a lagging sinusoidal population curve with people?
