What’s The Average American Diet?

The average American diet is one that has a unique reputation all around the world. This is because virtually any food is able to be bought in the U.S. at reasonably low prices, and is able to be produced very inexpensively. This food infrastructure that exists in the country means that anyone can get pretty much anything they want at any time, which is not always a good thing. For example, dairy makes up a huge portion of the average American diet, which is clearly not very healthy. More people are realizing this every day, which is why ways of eating such as the paleo diet are gaining in popularity.

• The average American eats 29 pounds of french fries each year
• 2,700 calories a day is what most Americans take in, which is more than most places in the world
• The average weight that a person in the U.S. eats in food each year is 1,996.3 pounds
