The force of gravity changes from place to place depending on what's under any given spot. So if density changes under certain areas then gravity at those points could well change in less than a year

There are variations in gravity caused by having more mass under some areas of the surface. These differences are very minor. Gravity is also slightly counteracted at the equator by the centrifugal effect of the earths rotation making things at the equator weigh slightly less.
The mass of the earth and therefore gravity is increasing year by year. Some 6 million pounds of space dust fall onto the earth each year.

Actually the gravity at the equator is slightly different and gravometric anomalies occur with some seismic events. In the final analysis though, gravity depends on the mass of the object - the larger the object the more it distorts space-time and the greater the gravitational field.

As the Earth cools and shrinks ( ie earthquakes) the Earth becomes more dense and the gravity will increase. Of course we are talking millions of years. Eating hamburgers or having more people will not increase the gravity as the material to increase the number of people or their weight was already present on the Earth.
There are also tidal forces from the Moon and Sun which will cause you to become lighter and heavier every day.

The gravitational pull of the earth is related to the amount of mass in/on it. So if the population of earth goes up during the year that could ever so slightly increase the mass, but you also have to find out if stuff is somehow "leaving" the earth to make the mass go down again.
(thats not counting other animals. plants, etc.. )

If everyone eats McDonald's three times as much as they are now, yes.

that other guy's right. but it dpends on your point of view. you see, it all dpends on mickey dees. everyone will keep on getting fatter, but there will be less cows.
hmm...
i'm kinda lost here

You can balance egg on one end on some days.
