The most popular food in every state

Despite peaking in popularity in the early 2000s, low-carb diets remain a staple of the fitness and nutrition industry. However, these diets have not abated America’s love of carbohydrates.

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.

Trump didn’t do that.

It was Kasich.

Had to look that up. Looks wonderful.

Your reply prompted me to go look. I picked the wrong dish! Schnitzel is the german dish that is most like a tenderloin. Both dishes are quite good.

*** One day I will be rich enough to eat pizza ...with a fork, so I can eat only the toppings and cheese, not the bread so it’s low carb. ***

I am a toppings only pizza eater. I eat it the way you eat artichoke leaves, placing the pizza slice in your mouth, then through slightly clenched teeth, pulling the slice out, and scraping off the soft gooey toppings. Tear off the empty portion of the crust, or cut it off with your fork, and repeat with the rest of the slice.

It looks kind of wasteful, having a stack of empty crusts at the local pizza buffet.

I can’t tell the difference between agave nectar and sugar in my coffee

I use about half the amount too, because it is very sweet

I never tried it on waffles- I would guess it would be too sweet- I only use it as a sugar substitute- not a syrup or anything

You may be right - but I suspect they use different kinds of wheat than we use here and less preservaitves AND they drink a lot of red wine- maybe that has something to do with it

All i know is if I have anything with wheat in it, i will start itching like crazy and it took me 3 years to figure out what it was- and since I stopped eating bread i have lost 40 pounds, my joints all stopped hurting and I feel so much better.

Read up on anti-inflammatory foods and see if it works for you. If it does, great- if not, that does not make it ‘nonsense’

I was reading one doctor’s report where he said EVERYONE eventually becomes sensitive to gluten. I know I did and finding out what it was was a nightmare.

Try skipping all bread and wheat for a month- its easy- and if you feel better then you’re welcome

It took me years to figure out that I was gluten intolerant.

it inflames your small intestine and causes you to be unable to absorb nutrients, so you end up eating more, which makes it worse, and so on...

something about French Bread and low gluten levels

http://bubblechild.com/2011/09/16/does-french-flour-have-less-gluten-in-it/

I notice I am more tolerant if I have TOMATOES with bread- pizza (THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I can tolerate in thin crust versions - some gluten free crusts you can buy are not too bad

Denny’s has a new gluten free muffin that is GREAT! I sometimes go there when I have a craving for bread - just to get that muffin

I'm of the mind, wherever you are....do what the natives do....and that includes the food/eating....even if it is poutine.
