WHV ARE PEOPLE
IhI.NG FEWER EGGS?
Declining per capita con
sumption of eggs challenges
the industry to find ways ot
maintaining consumption. An
undeistanding of why this has
happened in the first place is
necessary.
Eggs compete with thou
sands of other food items in
the retail store.
Most studies about egg con
sumption tell which groups of
people use more eggs than
others, and where people buy
east due to cooler weather.
Surplus over bottling needs
cleared satisfactorily with
some sepai ators continued
to inanufactuimg outlets not-
ed in Nev Yoik especially on
week ends In New England
some separatois continued
shoit of needs.

eggs More information to
needed to determine why peo
ple use certain quantities of
eggs
Much is being learned about
consumption from research on
consumer attitudes and be
havior with respect to eggs.
This might include such things
as how homemakers look at
the role of eggs in meal plann
ing or their knowledge of
quality and nutrition with re
spect to eggs why they buy
eggs.
If the decline in per capita,
consumption of eggs is to be
halted, it seems necessary to
change attitudes toward the
use of eggs Most people view
eggs in the context of break
fast Some are under-consum
ers beaeuse of the role of
breakfast.
