What Are We Eating?

I saw this today and was surprised by a few things. Mainly the fact that we still eat more red meat than poultry! For some reason, that blew me away...but I guess hamburgers are still probably the most popular fast food item. Being a vegetarian, I was happy to see the amount of veggies and fruits consumed. That's the good stuff!! What do you think about this? Does anything surprise you?

    I'm actually surprised (how pessimistic of me) by the reasonably high ranking of fruits and veggies. I really would've guessed the average American was way worse on that front...(or maybe it's just us vegetarians balancing the meat-eaters out)

    Just eyeballing it, it seems that about half of all foods consumed are from animal products...makes me a little sad! At least people getting more aware about buying organic!
