"Devil's avocado, Larry": Assuming a perfectly efficient system, that's slightly under $2,000 per person per year. Divided by 52 weeks, that works out to $38.

"Devil's avocado, Larry": Assuming a perfectly efficient system, that's slightly under $2,000 per person per year. Divided by 52 weeks, that works out to $38.00 per week in food aid.
