How Many Calories do Americans Eat per Day?

This blog post sites a study that the answer is close to 4,000. I find that really difficult to believe in fact I was thinking about it with my face scrunched up so much that now I probably need wrinkle creams that work. Then again, I don't count calories. I guess if you were eating fast food for every single meal every single day it would add up. I really miss the days of my youth when carbs were at the bottom of the food pyramid and everyone was allotted 2,000 calories a day.
