THE NATIONAL FOOD SURVEY: A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

Abstract

The genesis and purpose of the National Food Survey is discussed. Originally to monitor and improve the “working‐class diet” the survey has broadened to analyse food consumption on seven levels. A major shift of interest has been from nutritional to economic. The survey is now of use to people involved in such disparate fields as applied economics, social medicine and market research.
