On a web site that you suggested, it reads, in fact...

"According to the National Soft Drink Association (NSDA), consumption of
soft drinks is now over 600 12-ounce servings (12 oz.) per person per year.
Since 1978, soda consumption in the US has tripled for boys and doubled for
girls. Young males age 12-29 are the biggest consumers at over 160 gallons
per year—that’s almost 2 quarts per day. At these levels, the calories from
soft drinks contribute as much as 10 percent of the total daily caloric
intake for a growing boy."

But just give us Europeans some time, and we'll catch up! :-(


"Up to 25 percent of children in many European countries are considered
obese, a percentage that is reaching toward the U.S. figure of 33 percent."
