Virginia is for fry lovers, according to a new study. The poll of 5,000 U.S. adults found the average person of the "Old Dominion" self-reported eating at least 21 pounds of spuds, closely followed by three other heavy-hitting states: Alabama, Georgia and Maryland — all with the average person eating about 20 pounds per year. On average, a single American can eat at least 17 pounds of a small serving (69 ounces) of fries per year. Expanded to the entire nation, that means America eats a minimum of 5,610,000,000 pounds of the stuff — as much as 155,833 school buses. Ahead of National French Fry Day on July 11 and commissioned by McCain Foods, the study conducted by Talker Research revealed variances for one of America’s favorite foods.
