We should not only look at the percentage of spendings for food but the costs of living in general. Then the european will not look that much better in comparison as we have high costs for apartments. Still if the picture is true that is still concerning. |

From the USA and food prices are closer to 20-30% of my income now. I do have a family though. |

There was a discussion earlier when I looked up figures for this, obviously the data is pre-Trump. People in the US spend so little on food because they spend much more on insurance, rent and vehicle maintenance than Europeans. Disposable income is a similar proportion, with the US average being a bit more on absolute terms, while the EU average being a bit more on PPP. In any case this is an IIRC bit, so I might be wrong. |
