USDA’s Dietary Data Briefs: Pizza!

The USDA’s Food Surveys Research Group recently released its most recent Dietary Data Briefs based on What We Eat in America (WWEIA) data from NHANES 2020.

• Mexican Food Consumption by Adults
• Mexican Food Consumption by Children
• Pizza Consumption of the U.S. population

I went right to pizza.

Women over the age of 60 report getting nearly a third of their daily calories from pizza?

Even little kids get a fifth?

And that was before the pandemic….

I love pizza, but dietary variety anyone?
