How many pounds of salt does an average person eat in a year?

Answer:

About 1.6 pounds/ year based on a diet followed by the USDA at 2000mg of salt (sodium) per day.

We actually probably eat more because most Americans eat more than the USDA rec. amount. (The recommendation a few years back was 2500mg)
