Per Capita Food Consumption

James Sharer

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1980, vol. NFR 10, issue 01

Abstract: Based on preliminary data, it appears that overall food consumption per capita declined 0.4 percent in 1979. Pork and poultry consumption increased slightly, offsetting a decline for beef. Per capita consumption of crops declined 0.6 percent. Changes in food consumption patterns were caused by economic conditions, weather variations, diet changes, and cyclical changes in beef and pork production.
