      abstract = {Converging food demand is tested in two ways. First, the  convergence of food expenditures among 18 high-income  countries is examined from 1990 to 2004. Convergence is  apparent in total expenditures, cereals, and meats, but not  in other categories. Second, specific food-retailing and  product-introduction patterns are examined for selected  countries. These indicate increasing shares for retail  outlets selling standardized products and increased  preference for convenience, upscale, and natural product  attributes across all the countries examined.},
