More tortillas than bagels?

Question

is it true that more tortillas are consumed in the US today than Bagels? i was just watching the Colbert report and it made me laugh so hard, now i have to find out.

I know Salsa sells better than ketchup, with no surprize salsa IS waaay better. but this is new to me.

Answer 1

dont get me wrong.. i love bagels especially blueberry but you can do more with tortillas

Answer 2

Well, i'm mexican, tortillas is a good alternative to the bleached cancer causing white flours that are widely consume all over the world, but i suggest you try to eat the blue corn flour tortilla, it has more antioxidant, taste better, has a lot of pigments found in red wine the ones that protect us from oxidation, oxitosing or something like that, so better try the blue corn tortilla flour for your health also protects from cancer causing agents and has the lowers glycemic index so is much better suitable for a diabetic persons diet.

Answer 3

I believe this to be true. Since I married my Mexican husband I've adapted to the Mexican lifestyle, including eating corn tortillas with almost EVERY meal (steak, chicken, sausage, eggs, beans, etc.). When we eat something we each eat about 6-8+ tortillas with it.. however the food is not eaten as tacos.. the tortillas are usually used to pick up the food.. so for every bite we are eating 1/2 of a tortilla with the food.

So I can eat 1 bagel in the morning for breakfast, but throughout the day I will probably eat at least 10 tortillas.

By the way, the BEST tortillas are made/sold only in Atlanta. I have considered moving to another city but I don't know what I would do without my Milagro tortillas.

Answer 4

I agree with the fact that more things can be done with tortillas than bagels

Answer 5

Probably. It would not surprise me. Why does it surprise you. We got lots a mexicans and lots of folks who aren't mexican, and LOVE mexican food.

I LOVE TORTILLAS  

Answer 6

more tortillas are consumed because theyre thinner, so u need to eat more of them to be full.

a bagel's really thick n u only need to eat one to be full.
