An average person consumes about 100,000 pounds of food in a lifetime. Assuming that a small amount of dirt may be present on some unwashed vegetables or fruits, the estimated dirt intake would be minimal, likely less than a pound over a lifetime. The digestive system is efficient at processing and filtering out foreign particles, so the actual consumption of dirt is negligible in the context of the overall food intake.
