Assuming that an "average" American eats three meals a day, in one year  
they'd eat 1095 meals.

For an "average" American to eat a ton of food a year, they'd have to eat  
almost two pounds of food at every one of those 1095 meals.

An "average" adult will feel full after eating about a pound of food.

Eating another whole meal after one already feels full is nothing short of  
gluttony and will surely result in gross obesity if not premature death.  
That's only logical.

Okay then. A quick show of hands: How many of the American listmembers  
here are obese ?

If you're not, then you're not an "average" American, if we are to believe  
Nick.
