You probably have a general sense that snacks, like most things in the American diet, have been supersized—but you may not realize by how much. A data analysis of surveys from more than 23,000 Americans who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that they were getting nearly one-quarter of their total daily energy intake—400 to 500 calories—from snacks. The survey asked each participant to make note of what he/she eats over a 24-hour period. Even though this may not necessarily reflect how people eat on a regular basis (it could have been taken on a day when some had wine or birthday cake), it gives researchers a good snapshot of the diets of a large number of people.

There will come a day when your furnace will leave you cold. The typical furnace lasts around 15 years, and even if yours seems fully functional as that age nears, it’s still time to start thinking about replacing it. At some point, something will go wrong with your aging furnace, and it won’t make financial sense to repair it. There’s no point spending four figures to replace failed evaporator coils or a cracked heat exchanger—or even three figures for a blower motor replacement—on an old fuel-inefficient furnace that’s likely to break again soon.
