Because the typical American diet sure ain’t what it used to be, this is an animated bar chart detailing the nation’s shifting food consumption over the last century. Each bar represents the average daily caloric intake of a particular food group or type of food. Fast food and junk snacks come on the scene hot and steadily grow until they account for more than half a typical day’s calories. That’s wild. Also: unhealthy. But who am I to judge? I’ve already had six energy drinks today and just Door Dashed two more and four hot dogs. It won’t be food that kills me though. Nooooo, it’s gonna be an evil wizard. I know because he appears in my nightmares to remind me. You rescue one fair maiden!
