What Americans Eat in a Year

Graphic here. We eat 2000 pounds of food each year, or 2700 calories per day.

• A gallon per week of soda. I drink well more than that, but only diet soda.
• Almost a pound per week of corn syrup, almost 3 pounds of caloric sweeteners, and a pound and a half of oils and fats.
• Half a pound a week each of french fries, pizza, ice cream, and non-caloric sweeteners
• 250 mg of caffeine per day, the equivalent of:
• 26 oz of Starbuck's Grande Latte or Red Bull
• 60 oz of Diet Coke or....
• 400 oz of chocolate milk
