Progress 10/01/03 to 09/30/04
Outputs
Rising income, higher educational attainment, improved diet and health knowledge, growing popularity in eating out, and a growing population that will become older and more diverse in race and ethnicity contribute to shaping future U.S. food consumption. In 2004, we analyzed data from the 1994-96 and 1998 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals, conducted by the USDA, to study where various pork and potato products are consumed and to project future consumption. We also studied the consumption of fruits and vegetables at home and away from home. Publications under this project are cited in other projects, including DSHE: patterns of food and commodity consumption; DSHE: consumer driven agriculture; and Market analysis: consumer demand for meats by types and cuts
Impacts
On a daily basis, American consumers eat 2.7 meals and snacked 1.5 times during 1994-96. About three-quarters of meals and 80 percent of snacks were consumed at home; only 68 percent of total food energy came from home foods.

Progress 10/01/02 to 09/30/03
Outputs
In 2003 ERS published "Food and Agricultural Commodity Consumption in the United States: Looking Ahead to 2020,"(AER-820) which is listed as an output for the project titled DSHE: Consumer Driven Agriculture. Rising income, higher educational attainment, improved diet and health knowledge, growing popularity in eating out, and a growing population that will become older and more diverse in race and ethnicity contribute to shaping future U.S. food consumption. This study analyzes data from the 1994-96 and 1998 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals to project the consumption of 25 food groups and 22 commodity groups. The growth of the at-home and away-from-home markets vary from one commodity to another. Fruit consumption is expected to lead all commodities in growth in the at-home market, and fish consumption is expected to lead in the growth in the away-from-home market.
Impacts
On a daily basis, American consumers eat 2.7 meals and snacked 1.5 times during 1994-96. About three-quarters of meals and 80 percent of snacks were consumed at home; only 68 percent of total food energy came from home foods.

Progress 10/01/01 to 09/30/02
Outputs
Factors affecting food consumption at home and away from home have been analyzed using data from the 1994-98 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII). The results were used to predict at-home and away-from-home food and commodity consumption up to the year 2020. The results are reported in ERS's AER #820. Data from the 1977-78 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey and CSFII 1994-98 were analyzed to compare the quality and quantity of food American eat at home and away from home. The results are published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
