Food Consumption
In table 6, by expressing food consumption per 1,000 calories consumed
from different locations, we can find out food deficiency by location.
From table 2, we know that individuals need to consume 1.5 servings
of dairy products per 1,000 caloric intake in order to meet the
recommendation for dairy products. On average, individuals ate an
average of 0.76 servings of dairy products per 1,000 calories, indicating
that individuals do not eat enough dairy products. At-home foods
provided 0.84 servings of dairy products per 1,000 caloric intake,
so at-home foods contain more dairy products than away-from-home
foods. Therefore, individuals need to consume more dairy products
in their diets and they need to pay more attention to dairy consumption
when they eat out.
