摘要:All three major per capita
food supply measurements¡ª
food available for
consumption, nutrients available
for consumption, and the food supply
adjusted for spoilage and other
losses in the home and marketing
system¡ªsuggest that Americans in
the 1990¡¯s are consuming more
food and several hundred more
calories per person per day than
did their counterparts in the late
1950¡¯s (when per capita calorie consumption
was at the lowest level in
this century), or even in the 1970¡¯s.
