Answer: 46 Million!
Question to the above answer: So just how many Turkeys are Americans eating this Thanksgiving?
That is a lot of turkey. But that’s not all.
As you sit & meditate on your third plate of sweet potatoes, ask yourself:
“How many pounds of sweet potatoes & yams are people eating today? After all, I can’t be alone…in having my third plate of sweet potatoes.
Can I?”
A: 1.9 billion pounds of sweet potatoes. And no-you are not alone.
“Well now I feel better…if I weren’t so full. But…but. There’s still a pumpkin pie. And it looks so good. And no one is around….and I want to eat it.”
Whoa, you have room for one whole pumpkin pie? That is impressive, but hey-welcome to the club! According to All Spice, 50 Million Pumpkin Pies are eaten, and in some cases:
One in five Americans has eaten an entire pie by themselves. That adds up to about 2,000 calories for an 8-inch pumpkin pie, around 2,500 calories for an apple pie, and up to 4,000 calories for a pecan pie.
So think of that as you lift that last pie into your face on Friday morning as you have an entire pie to yourself for breakfast.
Better yet, don’t think of it and enjoy your calorie loaded Thanksgiving feast! Here’s hoping you & your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
