  I’m tempted to start a list. Sure, the majority of our food will be a handful of staples, but I feel like the average person from a rich country must eat quite a variety between seasonal variations of the food they eat at home, eating out, eating at a friends place, fast food, slow food, etc.

  If I wrote a list, I think I would find over 100 different plants in the last year. If I have take out dumplings, I’d probably be eating onion, garlic, a couple of kinds of cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, carrot, ginger, maybe more.

  It might be a shorter list without the flavourings but I still think I’d hit 100.

    I guess it also depends if you consider different lettuce/cabbage varieties as different plants.

      Yeah you’d have to set some criteria for the list! Does any amount count or do you set a minimum that eliminates many spices? And if you do, then you’re counting things on one person’s list that aren’t on someone else’s.

      People probably eat 1000 foods in a year if we have no minimum amount!
