REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Caitlind Walker 4/30/2020 3:24 PMThis does not surprise me considering the amount of food waste I see in my household. We have been actively working on reducing this, and have been successful.
