REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn 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?
Jamie Perez 10/15/2020 10:41 AMNo this does not surprise me. I have been trying to be more mindful of what our family foods needs are to reduce waste. Also, less eating out. I would rather spend my money on travel or activities with the family. -
