      abstract = {Food demand is an important component of the agricultural  sector and much food preparation occurs in the home. While  there is much information about the market cost of food,  there has been no information about the preparation cost of  food at home because there has been no data available on  the quantity of time spent in food preparation. Using newly  released time diary data from the Bureau of Labor  Statistics, this paper provides the first known estimates  of the cost of time in food preparation at home. We also  consider a demographic profile comparable with someone who  may be on Food Stamps and following the recipes based on  the USDA Thrifty Food Plan, which is designed to help low  income groups on Food Stamps.},
