Also included are data on the percentage of meals eaten at home, their average cost, and their nturient return per dollar's worth of food.

The nutrient levels of food used for each household are expressed as percentages of the 1974 Recommended Dietary Allowances set by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council, National Academy of Sciences.
