well, this is based on a research in the US and certainly not comparable to other countries, but it is frightening to think that an average American (or European !) consumes close to 2000 lbs. of food per year, 110 lbs. of that just meat. It also means it's about 5.5 lbs. of food items on average per day. But it is not just that, all this stuff has to be produced, harvested, farmed, packaged, shipped, etc. before it can be consumed. I just wonder how much energy goes into all this to make before a human converts it into garbage. AJ
