Abstract: U.S. demographic trends, including increased diversity brought about by immigration, may cause overall consumer demand for some types of goods to grow faster than demand for other types of goods. U.S. immigrants generally acculturate in their food choices, adopting eating patterns more like native-born people of their same ethnic or racial group. Non-Hispanic Asians may have slightly higher quality diets, on average, than other racial and ethnic groups.
