A Ton of Food
In 2011, the average American ate 1,996 pounds of food. That’s almost a full ton.
Special Diets
Forty-five percent of all Millennials, or those born in the 1980s and 1990s, have adopted special diets, including going vegan and gluten-free.
Wasted Food
About one-third of all food produced ends up in landfills. That’s a lot of wasted food!
10 Billion Donuts
That’s right: Americans eat 10 billion, donuts each year. How many do you think you contributed to that total?
Lots of Snacking
Rather than sitting down for well-defined meals, Americans now consume fully half their calories in snacks.
