The volume also shows 6-point-5 million motor vehicle accidents that year resulting in 40,700 deaths and 3-point-2 million injuries.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the food front - Americans on average ate 23 pounds of iceberg lettuce each year, followed by onions and tomatoes with about 16 pounds consumed yearly.  When it comes to fruit, bananas are the most popular, with the average American eating 28 pounds per person.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen the Census bureau statisticans looked at spending patterns for Americans they were surprised to find that the amount spent on books was greater than that spent on videos, CDs and audio books combined. \u003cbr/\u003ePutting down a common theory that books are not important to Americans. \u003cbr/\u003eMilk consumption has grown steadily in the past 25 years but more and more Americans are turning to the low-fat and skim varieties.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the food front - Americans on average ate 23 pounds of iceberg lettuce each year, followed by onions and tomatoes with about 16 pounds consumed yearly.
