No Ration Seen In Average American Diet Assuming that you, gentle reader, read-er, are an average American, you I may expect during the next 12 months to eat 1,236.4 pounds of food plus 365 eggs, one for every : day in the year. I You're something of a pig, it seems. Perhaps you aren't aware of the fact but best of all you like milk and cream. During the year j you'll drink 430 pounds of the stuff. Nexa come fresh vegetables 247 pounds of 'em. Wheat, meat ; and fresh fruits follow in that order, 157, 150 and 148 pounds, respectively. Then you'll do a header. Tou may like chicken and turkey bet- ! ter than you do fresh vegetables j but just the same you'll eat only 28.6 pounds. And you'll take a mere nibble of such foods as rice, butter, cocoa, tea, et al. Coffee? Seventeen pounds.
