1 Ton of Food?

Posted by 5SHELBY! on January 4, 2012 at 12:07pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board
Statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture were looked at and the results showed that the average person eats 1,996 lbs of food a year. That's almost one ton. It consists of 31 lbs of cheese, 630 lbs of dairy foods, 185 lbs of meat and poultry, and 197 lbs of grains. That is A LOT of food. I can't believe people really eat that much it's crazy. And that's only an average, that means there are people that eat even more then that!What do you guys have to say about this?http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/average-americans-consume-one-ton-of-food-per-year

    That is a lot of food. I think that it is incredible that farmers in the midwest can feed all of this food to people. I appreciate it though.
