Consumers have become nu
trition conscious when they
shop for food. Last year, the
average American shopper
spent a dollar this way 34c
for meats and poultry; 23c for
vegetables and fruits; 19c for
dairy foods; 16c for breads
and cereals; and Sc for miscel
laneous products. Consumers
usually spend about one-fifth
of the food dollar on dairy
foods, one of the basic four
food groups recognized as the
foundation for a good diet.
