Sweet Tooth
American kids consume sugar like it’s their job. According to the USDA, the average American child consumes about 34 teaspoons of sugar per day. That’s more sugar than a bee could make in a lifetime! And let’s not forget that’s just the average; some kids are consuming even more than this figure.
But it’s not just the kids; American adults are just as guilty. The average American adult consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar per day. Oh well – sugar tastes so darn good. Plus, we’ll surely all have sweet dreams after consuming so much of the sweet stuff, right? There are worse things to eat!
