727. The variations in the per capita consumption of milk between towns in Great Britain, and their causes

Abstract

That there are variations in the per capita consumption of milk between families has been amply demonstrated—the reports of the National Food Survey, conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, record them year by year(1). Some, at least, of the reasons for these variations—such as result from differences in income and in the size and composition of families—are also known. There are, in addition, variations in the per capita consumption of milk between different towns and areas of Britain, and it is the purpose of this paper to consider them.
