Americans eat an awful lot of pizza, according to a February report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on pizza consumption from 2007–2010.

The report doesn’t offer any thoughts about whether this is a good thing. That may be because the U.S. government’s official position is that people should eat more pizza—and also less pizza.
