Which eats more for its size (volume)?

1) a man
2) a mouse
3) an elephant
4) each eats approximately an amount of food in proportion to its size.

This is because
5) the smaller the animal is, the more radiating area it has proportional to its volume.
6) the larger the animal is, the more radiating area it has proportional to its volume.
7) neither of these has any bearing on the dietary behavior of living creatures.
