Food Fat Consumption High in 1961

Author

  • Kromer, George W

Abstract

Consumption of food fats and oils per person in the United States has varied within a narrow range over the past 40 years (excluding war years), averaging roughly 45 pounds (fat content) annually. Reduced consumption of table spreads has been about offset by an increase in edible oils, while the cooking fats have remained virtually unchanged. Fat and cholesterol awareness on the part of many consumers apparently has not visibly affected the total food fat intake. About the only indication so far of "fat consciousness" has been some tendency to shift from the solid fats to the liquids and from animal fats to the vegetable fats.
