How much time do the members of my family spend eating per year? Well, once again, what do I need to do to answer this question? Well, I would have to go either observe or survey my family members, maybe my mom, my wife, my children, and my uncles, aunts, whoever else. I would say, well, how much do you eat each day? I would add them all up to figure out how much they eat in the year. And maybe family member A eats 813 hours in a year. Family member B ate, I don't know, 732 hours in the year.
