CHANGES IN BRITISH EATING HABITS

Abstract

Considering the traditional British conservatism in eating habits, many changes have taken place over the last ten years says Mintel Publications, the leading market analyst. Expenditure on food has lagged well behind expenditure on other items and services, growing by only 36 per cent since 1980 to £27.7 billion in 1985 (after accounting for inflation this is a decline as inflation grew by 42 per cent over the same period). The volume of food consumed remains fairly constant from year to year, but in‐house food consumption patterns have changed dramatically.
