In looking at the below web page I could NOT find one reference to how much time it took to
A) grow our food or B) hunt for our food.
Not one reference! WHY? The evil white men has done away with that activity.
In 1850 Total US population: 23,191,786;
Total farm population; 11,680,000 (est.); farmers 64% of labor force;
Number of farms: 1,449,000; average acres: 203
So that meant over 50% of people in US spent time raising food.

USA: 2%
Bhutan 60%
Just 2% of 310 million people need to be involved in providing Americans food.
Also 23% of food production in USA exported...
