I'm not really someone who loves statistics, but I have come across some lately that astound me. I've also realized that being an average American is generally not so good. This (from Reader's Digest, November 2008)backs me up:
"The average American eats about 42 servings of broccoli, 54 apples, and 96 cups of ice cream each year."
Now, I know I eat more apples than that (especially when I eat four in one day at the apple orchard!). . . but I probably eat more ice cream,too. Or I used to. (There have been seasons in my life when I have had a bowl of ice cream daily.) So I know I feed into that "average" statistic. And at best, this gives me some perspective and even a goal (to be better than average).

Or, maybe, lesser than average, as far as ice cream is concerned.

Im a sucker for pie and nothing goes better with pie than ice cream so I guess im a sucker for that too. In that respect I strive for being above average!
