To solve this, we need to determine what percentage of Kara's total spending went to food.

1. First, we calculate the total spending by adding up all the categories:
   \[
   \text{Total spending} = \text{Food} + \text{Rent} + \text{Fun} + \text{Other}
   = 356 + 444 + 267 + 533 = 1600 \text{ dollars}
   \]

2. Next, we find the percentage of the total spent on food:
   \[
   \text{Percentage on Food} = \left( \frac{\text{Food}}{\text{Total spending}} \right) \times 100
   = \left( \frac{356}{1600} \right) \times 100 = 22.25\%
   \]

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percentage is **22%**.
