Not only is there an error in the magnitude there is an error in the number.
40 t = 40 Mg would be 40 000 000 g, not 35 000 000 g as he would have it if his
magnitude were correct, unless 5 Mg are lost or wasted and don't end up in
people's mouths.

It is indeed over, but he either left out a "million", got tons and
grams
confused, or got grams and micrograms confused. I have sent feedback.
