That's just 0.00000006 acres per person.

Not a big deal.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

1 acre = 4046.85642 m^2
18 acre = 72843.41556 m^2

Medium pizza = 12 in. diameter.
1 in = 0.0254 m
12 in. = 0.3048 m
area of medium pizza = pi*r^2 = .29186344723968 m^2

# of pizzas eatern per day = (total area of food consumed)/(area of one food item) = (72843.41556)/(0.29186344723968) = 249580.46733... rounding up to 249581 pizzas per day

8 slices per pizza with 249581 pizzas consumed means 1996648 slices of pizza are consumed per day

Total population of America: 312,787,685
Slices per American per day: 1996648/312787685 =0.006383397095...
365 days per yer means the average American eats 2.32993... pieces of medium pizza per year
Rounding up to a whole number: The average American eats 3 pieces of medium pizza per year

SHOCKING.

Feel free to check my math, btw. I didn't double check any of this a 3 pieces per year seems incredibly low to me.

3 slices. Gah whats wrong with me. Who measures pizza by the piece?

--
Moops?
"I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion."

not checking the math much, but i noticed you used total population and not the total population that is actually capable of consuming pizza. granted, discounting infants and old people only raises the average a couple slices maybe, but eh...

--

3 slices a year?

If that were true, it means pizza eaters make up a very small percentage of people that are supporting the entire industry.

That's what I'm saying. I've had to make a mistake somewhere. 18 acres seems like nothing considering the amount of people in the country and the fact it has to be one of the most popular food items here.

Even if I use the 2000 census count for number of people between ages of 18 and 65 (174.1 million), that still only makes like 5 or 6 slices per year, and that is being incredibly generous considering how much pizza kids ages 6 to 18 tend to eat.

I dunno.

18 acres is nothing. That's 0.0026136 square feet of pizza per person per day. A WHOLE FIFTH OF A SQUARE INCH OF PIZZA A DAY OR SO, GIVE OR TAKE A LITTLE

That figure is almost certainly wrong. I'd think it'd be a lot higher.

But the traditional meats- sausage (aka cat poop pizza) and pepperoni (aka sweet now my pizza has a film all over it) are pretty much the worst things ever

I have no idea how awful the pizza places you are ordering meat pizzas from are if those descriptions can be used to describe real pizzas.

Santa only eats cat poop and film, so that's all he can compare it to

meat & cheese pizzas are the best. especially when they're 20" and have 3 of each. so good.

3 slices per year? No way. Even just 3 entire pizzas per year would be pretty shockingly low in my book.

Save My contests are awful, without exception. Timjab is an amazing user, the eeveelutions suck, mark sanchez is the best qb in the league, and it wasn't Brock.

Even if we ate 100 acres of pizza a day, a full-scale America pizza would take over 65,204 years to eat.
