I'm guessing much higher. I think maybe around 75-85%

I'd say around 45%.

what percentage are parents? add like 10 percent to account for us clumsy people, and bingo, there's your number.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the world has access to a washing machine. I wonder also how many people may have a very limited wardrobe, and wear the same outfit for a lengthy amount of time between washings. I suspect there are many for whom there is no alternative. That is why I place my guess much higher. The unwashed masses in the third world are definately rocking some food stains.

I don't think third-world foods are as likely to lead to stains, and I also tend to believe you're overestimating the frequency of stainage.

Overweight people would probably have 95% or higher!!! The food always lands on a body mass during its gravity induced trip. This from experience. . .

I'm going to say 40.
