摘要:The average U.S. household
spent about $2,037 per person
on food in 1998, up 17 percent
from the average expenditure in
1990 (table 1). Food purchased at
supermarkets and other food stores
(food at home) rose 18 percent from
1990 to 1998, while expenditures for
eating out (food away from home)
rose about 15 percent. Most of the
increase for food at home was for
cereal and bakery products (up 22
percent), fruits and vegetables (up
22 percent), sugar and sweets (up 34
percent), and miscellaneous foods
(up 25 percent).
