Since I am forever the English major (and mostly because I'm half-delirious from lack of sleep), I just Googled 'onion' to ensure of the correct spelling for my previous entry. In doing so, I found The National Onion Association. No joke.
Did you know that the average American eats 21 pounds of onions per year? Libya boasts the highest per capita consumption of onions in the world (66.8 pounds of onions consumed per person per year). There are less than 1,000 onion farmers in the United States and if you want to get rid of onion breath, eat parsley.
The website is actually interesting, if you can get past the fact that it's all about onions. You can catch up on your onion history, find recipes, and even search for onion quotes (I know, I'm not sure I get it, either). There is even a Media Center and Press Kit, because you never really know when a vegetable crisis will hit. Who knows, right?
And the funny part is, I really don't even like onions.
