>I suspect it's a mix of undercounting people and WASTED food being counted as eaten. no, it is what left after the wasted amount is taken out. >I read an estimate somewhere that 25% of food in the US is wasted (it's not that high in my house, my shamefully it's too high, and I have absolutely no problem believing that number). "In 2004, the U.S. food supply provided 3,900 calories per
person per day. Accounting for waste, the average
American consumed 2,775 calories per day in 2007– an
increase of 28% from 1970" http://css.snre.umich.edu/css_doc/CSS01-06.pdf |
