@15:05: I question the math here. I suspect multiple members of a household might report buying a pumpkin, thus over-counting that pumpkin. On the other hand, the phrasing would not indicate how many they bought, and many households buy several. So, the assumption that none were double-counted and each person bought only one seems specious. It might have been worth reporting sales of whole pumpkins (at least to retailers)... if one cares about it.

@3:21: It doesn't "beg the question"; it raises the question. To beg the question is to commit a logical fallacy by assuming the conclusion of an argument.
