The health of the country hurts because of it — obesity rates are still rising — but the data show that the country’s most popular foods continue to be the most carbohydrate-laden.
From pizza to sandwiches and baked goods, we can’t get enough.
Using the most recent 2014 estimates from the American Community Survey and Dun and Bradstreet, the experts at FindTheHome discovered the most popular food in every state. The food type with the highest density per 100,000 people is considered the most popular. Pizza is the fan favorite in most states, with baked goods and Mexican food taking the lead in many others. Previously, FindTheHome used the same data providers to find the pizza capital and bakery capital of every state.

Interesting patterns...
I once ate so much pizza and drank so much beer ... I had the runza’s for a week an’ my head had suck colaches ... OI !
So...it’s pizza. What a mystery. So glad it has been finally solved.
Amen. I’d add sugar to your list.
I’d question any food study of Illinois that does not mention breaded tenderloin sandwiches. They are extremely popular here.
yes- replace sugar with honey and agave nectar- I dont like honey in coffee but I love it in tea, hate sugar in tea
agave nectar is even better than sugar in coffee
Oh stop, it’s tacos every where now.
Previous generations were not on low carb diets and they did not have have the weight problems we see today. Pizza is not the enemy. A sedentary lifestyle and overeating are more to blame.
When my wife and I raised our kids (70 - 80s), we had a pretty lousy diet that included Taco Bell and McDonalds. But we ate small portions compared to today, and we were very active. No weight problems.
From pizza to sandwiches and baked goods, we can’t get enough.Today I had pizza (with salami), a sandwich (tuna) and baked goods (banana bread).
IS beer food?
“Is beer food?”
Import or domestic?
>> Hawaii: Bakeries (Chinese #2) <<
Gotta be wrong. Anybody who knows anything about Hawaii can tell you that canned Spam is the no. one food there.
That's what my Son-in-Law says; he grew up there. They do, shall we say, interesting things with Spam.
Spam sushi, anyone?
My wife bought agave syrup for our weekend waffles.
That agave was so nasty tasting, I didn’t even want it in my mouth.
After one taste, I had to go to the grocery store and get real syrup.
