But what are most Americans really eating? A lot of cheese, sweets, and dense potatoes and grains.

So how does it break out? The figure is a little hard to swallow: 1,996 pounds, or nearly one ton. This is an estimate of how much — by weight — the average American eats over the course of one year.

The figure comes from economists who crunched food consumption data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Yowsers, that's a bit over 5lbs. Doesn't seem off the charts for America, but is pushing it. In health food, that would be approx. 15 (?) medium apples a day. I can barely eat three apples a day, let alone five each meal.

STOP SNACKING, PEOPLE!!!

Public-health experts in China say obesity has become a serious problem: Twenty-five percent of adults are overweight or obese, according to a 2008 study published in Health Affairs. But Cai Meqin, a nutritionist at Shanghai Jiaotong University, says all the overeating is partly a reaction to the food shortages under Chairman Mao a generation ago. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2011/1 … -of-plenty

they have an excuse.. where's ours?

I ate 17 whole cows last year. 1500 lbs per cow. Add that up I guess.

This reminds me of that south park episode where the whole school was considered fat because cartman's numbers brought the whole place below average.

That being said, I love eating. As an american, its all i know how to do properly ^_^
