About this magazine
Consumers in the 1990’s demanded quick, easy-to-prepare grocery foods to match their fast-paced lifestyles. And, the rising incomes of the second half of the decade allowed consumers to pay for these convenience foods and for more away-fromhome eating. The proportion of the food dollar spent eating out grew from 44 percent in 1990 to 47.5 percent in 1999. This demand for convenience translated into higher labor, packaging, energy, and other food marketing costs. Between 1990 and
1999, marketing costs rose 45 percent and accounted for most of the 37-percent rise in domestic consumer food spending.
