Extract

In recent years, significant changes have taken place in the food consumption patterns of American consumers. Evidence indicates that the ongoing changes in U.S. household food expenditure patterns occurred in response not only to sudden increases in food prices in the early 1970s and the recent salient inflationary period (Buse and Fleischner; Salathe), but also to demographic shifts, tastes, and preferences (LeBovit).
