Most eat a lot more than 10 pounds but I doubt that 140 pounds...
maybe per household. I buy not quite a five pound bag a month (more
like 10 bags a year) but I don't eat anywhere near those five pounds,
there is always waste to pare away and at least one sick spud, more
than a pound out of every five pound bag is discarded. I think it is
more advantageous to buy the loosies, and I used to on Lung Guyland,
but here they charge twice as much per pound for those than bagged. I
think nowadays most spuds are consummed as fast food fries, then it's
probably more than the 140 pounds per. I can't remember the last time
I ate fast food let alone those awful shoestring potatoes... those
skinny grease bombs ain't really french fries... any skinnier they'd
qualify as potato sticks. Most folks in the US have never eaten
french fried potatoes, and whatever fries they do eat are certainly
not made from fresh.
