6. Potato eaters.
The average American eats almost 138 pounds of potatoes in their lifetime. That’s a lot of spuds: 50.7 pounds are fresh and boiled or baked, 55.3 pounds are from frozen stock as in hash browns and French fries, 16.9 pounds are from chips and 15 pounds are either dried or canned. The problems associated with obesity are not from the spuds themselves, but rather because of what people put on them: butter, mayonnaise, saturated fats, cheese, bacon and so on.
