Using the Recommended Daily Intake(RDI) and the Daily Value(DV) of foods for people 4 years or older eating 2,000 calories per day, as recommended by the United States Food & Drug Administration(FDA), as our reference point, we can determine that each human would need to ingest the following on a daily basis in order to remain healthy, etc:
Fat: 65 g
Saturated Fatty Acids: 20 g
Cholesterol: 300 mg
Sodium: 2, 300 mg
Potassium: 4, 700 mg
Carbohydrate: 300 g
Fiber: 25 g
Protein: 50 g
Timesing this by 365, for the days of the year, we get:
Fat: 23,725 g
Saturated Fatty Acids: 7, 300 g
Cholesterol: 109, 500 mg
Sodium: 839, 500 mg
Potassium: 1, 715, 500 mg
Carbohydrate: 109, 500 g
Fiber: 9, 125 g
Protein: 18, 250 g
Or, converting to kilograms(and then to pounds), we get:
Fat: 23.73 kg; 52.2 lbs
Saturated Fatty Acids: 7.3 kg; 16.1 lbs
Cholesterol: 0.11 kg; 0.2 lbs
Sodium: 0.84 kg; 1.8 lbs
Potassium: 1.72 kg; 3.8 lbs
Carbohydrate: 109.5 kg; 240.9 lbs
Fiber: 9.13 kg; 20.1 lbs
Protein: 18.25 kg; 40.2 lbs
For a grand total of:
170.58 kg
or
376.06 lbs
This is how much food is *recommended* on a yearly basis for a person to stay healthy...however, actual consumption among individuals will vary wildly both ways, from under to over-consumption, and also without considering food wastage, etc.
Barring any quotable numbers on the matter(which I couldn't find in total, only a breakdown of how many eggs, etc), can we reasonably say an average of between 300 to 1000 lbs of food per year? The first answer's claim of 2500 seems a bit high...more than 6 times the recommended amount?
PS: I tried using Canada's Food Guide as well but because it uses millilitres as well as grams(ie: volume instead of weight), it was harder to work with and I abandoned it.
Soybeans are the second largest cultivated crop in the United States, behind corn, with more than 70 million acres harvested annually.
