Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: Among the fluid milk products the consumption of lowfat milks expanded rapidly and increased in relative importance. Among the frozen desserts, ice milk increased rapidly and increased in relative importance. Among the cheeses, cottage cheese increased in relative importance. Among these three groups of products the consumption of the lowfat items increased in relation to the other products in the group. During the last two decades the total per capita consumption of whole milk, lowfat milks, and nonfat dry milk (fluid skim equivalent) was remarkably stable, with lowfat milks and nonfat increasing in relative importance.
