Eating habits in the UK

Quote:

Figures charting the UK's changing food-buying patterns since 1974 have been released. What do they tell us about the nation? In with chips, fresh fruit and dried pasta. Out with white bread, tinned peas and meat paste. That's the story of the modern British dinner table. Data from 150,000 households who took part in the survey of their food and drink habits from 1974-2000 have been published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) BBC

White bread consumption down >50%

Liver down 94%

Pizza (yeuch) average purchase from 2g per week in 1975 to 53g in 2014.

Tea down 50%

And the consumption of effing chips was three times higher in 2014 than in 1974.

Some 24% of a typical pay packet went on food in 1974 compared with 11% today.
