With the savory scent of summer grilling in the air, here's how to pick

As the days grow longer and warmer, grillers across the country will be
sizzling and flipping their way through millions of burgers, chicken
pieces and fish fillets. Americans eat, on average, 67 pounds of beef
and 59.2 pounds of chicken per person, per year, most of it from

consumption, which hovered at around 15 pounds per capita until 2000, is
expected to rise 26 percent by 2020—provided that fisheries aren't
depleted by overfishing.
