For this edition of “America’s Keyword Report” we ask the question: what kind of foods are Americans Googling? This report is not only indicative of what we like to eat, but also the types of crazy diet fads that are currently sweeping the nation. Also, what’s on the menu this month? My personal favorite: the 390 people who searched “how to cook squirrel” (any guesses where the majority of these queries originated from?)
