HOME ECONOMICS DEPT:
The average American consumes 3 pounds of sugar each week or 3,550 pounds in an entire lifetime. That’s about 1,767,900 Skittles or enough to fill an industrial sized dumpster.
In the American diet…..added sugar alone accounts for nearly 500 calories every day which is the caloric equialent of 10 strips of bacon.
If you want to check out some other alarming facts about sugar, come on down to the showcase by the cafeteria to see our display. Thanks, Home Ec Department.
