Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Two aspects of food consumption in the United States are treated in this bulletin. They are (1) the broad outlines of trends in U. S. food supplies and consumption through the last 50 years, and (2) some of the more significant patterns of cross-sectional variations within the country in selected periods during the half century studied. The study begins with a description of sources and uses of food supplies (chapter 2). Historical changes in average food consumption for the whole country are next considered (chapter 3). Description of variations in food consumption among population groups at several points in time follows in chapter 4. Variations in the use of marketing services over the last 30 years and among population groups are reviewed separately in chapter 5. The historical changes in food consumption in terms of the value of civilian food at several levels of distribution are summarized in chapter 6. Supplementary information is given in two appendixes.
