    Nice blog, I do like it, but this post troubles me a bit.

    You say Americans prefer cheese over milk but dont give any statistics for milk. But thats okay, milk didnt make the top 10.

    Really this sentence concerns me most: “More Americans are also eating meats at an exponential level according to the Department of Agriculture in the United States.” Really? Thats misleading and biased. Why didnt you say this about fresh fruits which have increased far more than red meats? And you said “meats” (note that chicken went down, and you didnt show for pork or turkey, plus you lumped fish and shellfish together).

    This makes it sound like you have a problem with meat eating (or possibly with Americans).

    Also, you are comparing consumption levels between 2000 and 2005. These are only two data points. We have no idea what went on between these points, after, or before. How about a chart with a data point for every year over the last 100 years? See now *that* would be illuminating.

    Cheers.
