"The Food Plans represent a nutritious diet at four different cost levels." They are based on Dietary Guidelines and MyPyramid recommendations and updated to current dollars by using the Consumer Price Index.
I figured that for my family of six I should be spending $765 a month on food. That's on the Thrifty plan. The cheapest option.
Maybe we aren't eating enough, because we spend a lot less than that. I know, I know most people do not shop and store the way I do, but it does make you think.

For us it's about $1,025.00. I don't even spend 1/2 of that a month and we definitely aren't starving.
