Explanation: In the United States, as with most developed countries, individuals spend an average of 9 percent of their disposable personal incomes on food—divided between food at home and food away from home.

In less developed countries, average income spent on food is around 40% and can go as high as 50% with underdeveloped countries spending as much as 70% of disposable income on feeding.
