the average American family spends about 234,398 dollars on food every year. The world population is currently at around 499,794,855 people. According to the latest census, the average family has 4 members. So, 499,794,855/4 = 124,948,714 families. So 234,893 x 124,948,714 = $29,349,578,277,602 America spends on food. OUTRAGIOUS!!!

This answer appears to have a typographical error. The per capita spending in the USA was about $2000 in 2003 and 2004.
