Obviously, Americans have become more health, fitness and diet conscious over the last few years. If you want a statistical measure of exactly how America's nutritional habits have changed, here's a steaming plateful of statistics.
Over the last three years, according to the US Department of Agriculture, Americans have reduced their consumption of bacon by 21%, hot dogs, eggs and beef by 16%, fresh pork refined sugar foods by 29%, salty foods by 21%, butter by 5%, and other fats and oils by 11 %.
Since the consumption of these foods decreased so significantly, one could assume that the consumption of other foods had to go up. And it did. Over that same period, Americans increased their consumption of fruits and vegetables by 25%, poultry by 17% and fish by 15% !
Clearly, America has gone lean in its eating habits.
