Abstract: Excerpt from the report Introduction: This bulletin presents the results of surveys made in 1948-49 in which approximately 4,500 schedules were furnished by households on their food consumption for a week and on certain family characteristics. It includes also a comparison of the findings with those of a survey made in 1942, and, of particular interest to research workers, a review of some of the problems and methods of analyzing food consumption data.
