Put plainly, the French eat tons (or, more specifically, metric tons) of snails. According to a Reuters report, France consumes around 30,000 metric tons of escargot each year. And while estimates are just that—estimates—the French Embassy in the U.S. tweeted than an estimated 500 million snails are eaten in France yearly.
