While Sunday’s big game will be the main focus for millions of people, what they eat during the game will be a close second. The NFL championship represents the second-highest day of food consumption, trailing only Thanksgiving. “As fans gather around their TVs on Sunday, it’s worth remembering that every bite reflects far more than what’s on the plate,” said a Market Intel report from the American Farm Bureau. Farmers grow corn for tortilla chips, potatoes for potato chips, and poultry for chicken wings. Dairy farmers help provide ingredients for pizza, queso (KAY-soh) dip, and charcuterie (shar-KOO-ter-ee) boards. “Farmers are proud to grow the food America’s families enjoy during their watch parties,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “There will only be one winner on Sunday, but everyone wins when we protect America’s food supply chain and ensure that farmers can stay in business until markets improve.”
