In her crusade to show the world how much enjoyment can be derived from Italian cooking, De Laurentiis goes through a lot of tomatoes. An average of two thirty-two-ounce cans per day (as shown in the first slide), to be precise. So in a month that would be... well, you can see that in the second photo.

They should have had her reinact the old "I Love Lucy" episode where she is stomping grapes in a vat!
