Meats Take
One Quarter
Of Food Dollar
The. Nation’s meat industry
is the largest food business in
the world, says Mrs. Sandra
hi. Eaton, associate extension
home economist, Chester
County.
Americans spent ?1G billion
foi beef, pork, veal, and lamb
in 19 61. That’s about one
fourth of all moneyspent for
food during the year, and aver
ages about $277 for each
family.
Despite rising costs meat is
still o good buy, she points
out In the early 1920’5, the
annual meat bill amounted to
about $34 for each person and
bought 134 pounds of meat
B> 1961, the meat bill, at
about $9O for each peison, was
almost thiee times as high,
and bought 161 pounds of
meat
Even more impoitant to the
family budget is that only 4 5
pei cent of the take-home paj
was needed to buy meat in
19C1 Foi ty years ago the meat
bill lequned G 7 per cent of
the take-home pay.
The peicentage of income
spent on meat declined because
