REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Caitlyn Ruhl 4/13/2021 5:01 AMNot surprising but not good, either. I would love to see money go toward local farmers - making unprocessed food more common.
