[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 2291254, member: 52527"] I agree that the graph shows supply - I had originally intended to point that out in case people didn't realise but there was a glitch with the forum - I was having trouble posting and had to compromise. For clarity, self-reporting (for various reasons) tends to underestimate calorie intake whereas reporting supply will tend to over-estimate consumption (as wastage at consumer level is not taken into account). I don't know whether food wastage is greater in 2013 than it was in 1963. However, we are concentrating on relative intake here rather than total kcals and there is no reason to suppose that consumers waste fat more than they do carbohydrate. The graph doesn't show a marked drop in fat consumption from 1983 as was suggested. [/QUOTE]
