Abstract: The main trends in food consumption per capita unearthed so far from the Census and other material may be briefly summarized. Only for the meats – pork, beef, and veal – have the estimates been carried back to 1840. It seems not impossible that wheat flour may be extended before 1880, and possibly even the series for dairy products before 1870. In these cases, however, prudence has to date prevailed.
