Ditto with Randy. Not just with food, but all other resources as well (energy, materials like wood and minerals, land, etc)
If everyone in the world wanted to live like Americans (have cars, nice homes, running water, etc), we've already passed the maximum limit. If everyone lived as people do in developing countries, this planet can easily support 10 billion people.
The maximum number of a population that an ecosystem can support is called a carrying capacity. So what you are looking for is the carrying capacity of humans on earth.
The US is less than 5% of the global population, but consumes 30% of earth's resources. There is about 300 million people in the US. This would mean that if everyone in the world were to live like Americans, the earth's carrying capacity would be less than one billion people! (and we have about 6.5 billion now)

Worst i seen was Torsvet norways keeper and spurs getting his nose broke by Big Niall Quinn for man city, Quinn slid in for the ball torsvet dropped down to cover and caught a size 14 to his coupon (face) busted his nose right open like a fried tomato. Gary Mabutt getting his eye socket fractured during a jump for the ball was a nasty one. Injuries to the face are nasty or the caught stud in a divot. Foot stays straight the ankle and leg twist the other way

Depends on how much you eat (no, really).
If everyone ate as much meat as Americans do, then we already have too many people.
If everyone only ate rice, or something similar, I have seen the six billion figure tossed about somewhere.
