What do you think Americans eat more of, hamburgers or pizza?

I don’t have the answer, just something I was thinking about while watching YouTube. Both are pretty unhealthy but Americans do seem to love them and we’ve been spreading the love globally for decades.
My opinion based on absolutely nothing but my own reasoning is burgers win out. While pizza is good even when it’s bad and transcendently delicious when thin and made right in a legit pizza oven, I feel not many places sell just a slice and a whole pizza is too large for most people. It makes for great food for parties but the single serving size of burgers leads people to eat more of them. And you’ll find them on the menu of it seems like every single restaurant in America, even nicer places so that Joe Bob still has something he can order so long as they put all the weird stuff on the side.
And then if you really wanted to put on the ol thinking cap we could throw fried chicken or chicken tenders/fingers/nuggets into the mix although I’m not sure how popular they are in other parts of the country.

I'm thinking hamburgers simply based on the fact there are a lot more hamburger joints than pizza joints.

Thanks God for making me so smart and other people so dumb.

Burgers.
Easier to order for single consumption.

I would think hamburgers by a large margin
Personally, i might get pizza once for every 10-15 burger meals

Eh, depending on the bread you use, hamburgers aren’t that unhealthy.

I am curious, what is the unhealthy part of pizza? Let's break it down.
Crust - basically bread, ok not ideal but bread has been eaten for thousands of years.
Tomato sauce - crushed or pureed tomatoes.
Cheese - I dunno, is cheese that bad? Again, people have eaten cheese for thousands of years.
Toppings, meat/veggies. I guess the cured meat like pepperoni might not be good for you but I don't see the problem with all the rest.
Exactly what is it that is so bad about pizza?

Significant amount of carbs, and most places use crappy oils in their crust/sauce.
