Abstract: Per capita food consumption rose 2.2 percent in 1985 to a record high. Crop product consumption was up 3.4 percent, while animal food increased 1.4 percent. This bulletin presents 1965-85 data on per capita food consumption, prices, nutrient availability, food expenditures, and U.S. income and population. Food consumption data are based on estimates of production and marketing of food products and are not direct estimates of consumption. Per capita red meat consumption increased 0.7 pound, per person increased slightly. Fresh fruit consumption rose 0.7 pound per person, while fresh vegetable consumption increased 0.7 pound. Total sweetener consumption rose slightly.
