Fast food growth boosts frozen potato consumption.

摘要

Trends in consumption of fresh potatoes and frozen potato products in the USA are described, based on a 3-year food consumption survey in 1994-96. Data show that most fresh potato consumption occurs at home, while frozen French fries are sold predominantly for away-from-home consumption. It is also shownthat there are distinct variations in consumption according to region and urbanization, race and ethnicity, gender, and age. Income has no effect on the consumption of chips and fries.
