Poster: "CHANGES IN ANNUAL PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION OF PRINCIPAL FOODS DURING LAST 15 YEARS"

"There has been a larger increase in the aggregate per capita consumption of dairy products (milk, butter, cheese, evaporated milk and ice cream) since the early "20's" than for any other major product in the diet except vegetables.
