Abstract
"PURPOSE: Many previously documented studies have indicated that demographic factors affect food purchasing decisions and aggregate food consumption behavior. The primary objective of this study is to provide an economic analysis concerning possible future changes in domestic food consumption patterns and the demand for food to the year 1995. This study utilizes a variety of assumptions about changes in the supply and types of foods consumed that may occur as a result of (1) shifts in important demographic features of U.S. households, (2) changes in the income distribution patterns of U.S. households, and (3) technological advances which may be reflected in food cost changes. A secondary objective of the analysis is to evaluate the implied changes in food consumption patterns for their nutritional implications. The focus of this portion of the study is whether the projected changes in food consumption patterns will have impacts on the nutritional status of U.S. households or household members that should be brought to the attention of those who design and implement food and agricultural policy."--Page 4.
