Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The food surveys that have been made in the United States are brought together in Tables 1 to 3 and classified as follows: 1, dietary studies; 2, cost and standard of living studies; 3, qualitative food surveys. The dietary studies in Table 1 are divided into two parts — first, the family dietary studies, and second, the dietary studies made in institutions. Tables 1 and 2 show that actual records in more or less detail have been kept of the food consumed by 2,924 families and that estimates of the amount of food consumed or the cost or both have been made by 66,242 families. In addition to the types of food surveys presented in the tables, food consumption figures have been calculated from production, import, export, and population figures.
