    If the US consumes 7 billion cookies PER year, then an American by definition consumes less than two dozen cookies per year (7B cookies per year divided by 328 million Americans = 21 cookies per year per American). If the average American consumes 35,000 cookies in a lifetime, the US would be eating some 147 billion cookies per year, and I don’t think the US is importing that many cookies. The actual number of cookies in an American lifetime is on the order of 1500-2000. It seems this is a widely misquoted, and grossly exaggerated, statistic.

    If you disagree, please confirm and share your sources.
