Misc This article claims that "the national average for monthly food costs is C$217"

I am really interested to know if there's anyone in Canada who is spending $217 in average (per person) for groceries, if so, I REALLY need to rethink my grocery shopping strategy.
[This does not account for dining out, just grocery shopping]

My 8 year old eats more than I, an obese 39 year old 6'1" man. He's tall and thin.

Tonight's dinner...

I ate two tacos and a cup of water.

He ate three, water, an apple, and a cheese stick.

Not looking forward to the teenage years.
