Description

Demand for foods that save households time in meal preparation and cleanup (i.e., äóìconvenience foodsäó) has grown in the U.S., with implications for dietary quality and health. This report discusses some possible drivers behind the growth in demand for such foods: (1) Americans are purchasing more processed foods because of those foodsäó» declining market prices relative to their less processed counterparts; (2) the most advertised foods are those that are the most convenient or that American households have little time for meal preparation because of labor-market participation; (3) how declining incomes affect the demand for convenience. Changes in prices and total food expenditure drove most food-purchasing patterns. Meals and snacks at fast-food restaurants were also responsive to changes in advertising expenditures, while hours worked had little effect on demand for any foods. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
