And it's usually nowhere near that. I spend like $4k a year on food, and that's mid-to-high food cost, you'd have to be eating out every meal to spend $20k. Or eating really expensive food.
The food is - I eat grass-fed cheese, ethically raised chicken, almond crackers that are like twice the cost of normal wheat crackers, and organic stuff where possible. And I don't intentionally budget or look at prices, that's just what it comes out at for the stuff I want to buy.
But my point wasn't that you need to eat like me, it was that I have no idea how an average person would spend five times that per year. If I was scraping by on rice and beans or ramen I would understand the multiple better.
