This example displays the size and structure of a filtered USDA foundation food nutrition dataset from 2020, showing the file size in kilobytes, the number of data rows, and the number of columns. It fetches a remote CSV file using `d3.csv` and then formats the result with `d3.csvFormat` to calculate the data’s byte length. The output is rendered as large text in a `<pre>` element using the `document.getElementById` and `textContent` API.
