American Eating #
August 5th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
The New York Times reports that Americans eat 1.8 more pounds of food — for a total of 18.2 — per week than they did in 1970. The chart shows that we’re eating more or just about everything but dairy.
The percentage changes at the bottom of the graphic are the most interesting: fresh spinich, cream cheese, and corn sweetners (HFCS FTW!) are the biggest gainers. Veal, whole milk, and lard are the biggest losers.
