      abstract = {This publication revises and brings to date the detailed  information on per capita consumption of all major food  commodities in continental United States, including the  basic data on supplies and distribution from which the  consumption estimates are derived.  Sources and methods are  described and evaluated; indexes of supply-utilization,  production, and per capita civilian consumption are  developed; the nutritive value of the food supply is  estimated and appraised; and some supplementary information  useful for the analysis of the consumption of and the  demand for food is presented.  In Consumption of Food in  the United States, 1909-52, there is presented for the  first time an "index of supply-utilization" of farm  products having food use.  This new index breaks down the  combined utilization of such products, on a farm-value  basis, both according to sources of supply and according to  use and disposition. },
