Every year there are tons of super bowl parties to visit if you do not host your own. in the US there are 7.5 million parties held. and nearly half the population watches it. Less people vote in the presidential election! the average calorie intake for that one game is 1,200 calories. Potato chips being the most popular snack takes account for 27 billion calories and 1.8 billion grams of fat on Super Bowl Sunday alone. 1.5 million televisions are bought the week before the super bowl. There are 30 million lbs of the five popular snack foods (chips, pretzels, popcorn, nuts, and corn chips). 28 percent increase in number of fatal heart attacks among men on days when their football team lost at home.
These number were definitely a shock to me. This year for Superbowl I plan on contributing a more healthier snack to friends. Make fun healthy snacks for your super bowl party and bring down these outrageous numbers!
I never knew that superbowl parties could be so life threatening. I will definately keeo that in mind for this years party and try and provide a healthier atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteThese numbers are very shocking. I knew they were high but not that high. I'm not a fan of chips, pretzels or any of that sort of things but hearing how much people eat-1200 calories during the super bowl alone is outrageous. Now i wish half of them would get up after the football games and maybe play their-selves instead of yelling at the T.V. when "their" teams losses.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe people consume so many calories during that one game! I think when you're distracted, you don't pay attention to what you eat. It is definitely a good idea to plan ahead and create healthy snacks for the big game!
