The following numbers are in terms of how much each person consume annually:
Meat, Poultry and Fish: 195 pounds
Soft Drinks (carbonated, "fruit drinks," juice, bottled water, etc.): 53 gallons
Eggs: 243 egg (yolks)
Flour, Grains, Beans: 200 pounds
Added Fats and Oil: 66 pounds
Dairy Products: 28 pounds
Ice Cream: 16 pounds
As we're eating, we do not consider that we eat a lot if we do not feel extremely full. But looking at it from a larger view, it's very shocking that this is how much consume. And a lot of this stuff is not exactly healthy. 53 gallons of soft drinks, 66 pounds of oil and 16 pounds of ice cream can be very fattening. But I guess it fits the American way of life: Do it now (eat), worry about it later.
What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
