It said that the average American consumes 400 calories a day from beverages alone... I'd take a wild guess and say thats probably from white sugar .. So if you do the math .. 1g Sugar= 4 calories just as 1g carb=~4 calories 400 calories/4 calories per gram of sugar= 100 g of sugar! gross! i found sugar in tropical skittles… howd that get in there?!

If I look closely at that pic, my heals are slightly above two cinderblocks. Standard US cinderblocks are 8'' high, so I'm probably close to 17-18''. I looked up a vert jump calculator for grins and of course, it only evaluates performance for athletes under 30. 18'' is average for a 30 year old. Let's see...17'' at 44? I'll take it.
