Sugar Rush

The Wired Magazine article on turkeys that I just posted about had an ultra-crazy statement that screamed out for standalone acknowledgment...
"Americans eat a pound of sugar every two-and-a-half days. The average amount of sugar consumed by an Englishman in the 1700s was about a pound a year," said food historian Kathleen Curtin of Plimoth Plantation, a historical site that recreates the 17th-century colony.

Speaks for itself.
