Per Capita Food Consumption Highlights

Richard Prescott

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1981, vol. NFR 16, issue 01

Abstract: Food consumption in 1980 continued at previous levels for overall food groups, but some marked changes occurred among individual items. Several longer term trends, especially for meats, cheese, fluid milk, and sweeteners, continued into 1980. Consumer tastes and preferences, income levels, and relative price trends are largely responsible for longer term changes in food consumption, whereas year-to-year changes are usually caused by production factors.
