Known Edition Washingtonpost.com published data that show that Americans eat.

It turned out that residents of the United States eat more grains, fruits and nuts. Americans more often refuse white potatoes and sugary drinks. According to the study, wealthy families change their diets faster than the poor.

The report notes that Americans are increasingly in love with fish and shellfish. On average, an adult ate 0,16 servings of seafood per day in 1999 and 2000 and 0,19 servings per day in 2011 and 2012. Residents of the United States do not like processed meat products, journalists say.

Consumption of sugary drinks among poor Americans fell 23% between 1999 and 2012, from 2,16 to 1,67 servings per day. Among rich people, consumption fell from 1,48 to 0,91 servings per day.

The governor of the state of Maine, Paul Lepage, believes that those Americans who use food stamps spend government money buying more and more sweet fast food. He demanded that the federal authorities urgently pay attention to this trend and reduce the list of goods purchased with coupons.
