Slow news day. So let's check out some chart porn. Stats always perk me up.
Lots of cool stuff coming outta the U. S. Census Bureau - The 2011 Statistical Abstract - in the last few weeks with the NY Times - U. S. Portrait, in Numbers - all over it.
So, Americans are eating fewer veggies- at a buck-a-burger it's no wonder. Americans are eating less red meat - probably eating more white meat. Americans are drinking more - no surprise there. Recession angst? More Americans are landing in jail than previously - gotta dive into those stats to see what naughty things they're doing. Oh. And there are less bookstores nowadays - Americans have become illiterate. No surprise there eh?
