Can we talk about that 'one grocery bag per week' family on TikTok? I tracked my own trash for 30 days in Columbus

That family claims they fit a whole week of trash for 4 people into one small bag, and I figured it was fake. So I actually weighed my family's trash every day for a month here in Columbus, and we averaged 19 pounds a week, not even close. Then I watched the full clip and saw they compost, recycle, and use cloth everything, which the 15 second cut never shows. Anyone else notice these zero waste clips always skip the part where they already own 40 glass jars?
