Are grains making us fat? If so, we should be much...
Perhaps the focus should be on the 140-150 pounds of annual per capita sugar consumption in the US.

Source? That's over 6 ounces of sugar per day, or 611 kcal. Are you including general carbohydrates?

FAO data shows US per capita consumption of sugar (raw equivalent) at 67 kg (approx. 148 lbs) as of 2007. I can't speak to the accuracy of the data, though, or how much of that consumption directly corresponds to diet.
