Path to Freedom posted this on Facebook (they got it from Mark Bittman) and reading it was one of those I am surprised but not really surprised moments for me.
These are the top 10 items sold at grocery stores for the 52 weeks ending June 14, 2009, ranked by dollar sales.
1. Carbonated beverages
2. Milk
3. Fresh bread and rolls
4. Beer/Ale/Hard cider
5. Salty snacks
6. Natural cheese
7. Frozen dinners/entrees
8. Cold cereal
9. Wine
10. Cigarettes
As someone who got fat on mostly natural, whole foods I can add that I don't think what we are buying is the whole problem, but I don't think we can deny that this list explains a lot about our countries (the worlds?) obesity problem.
