| Popis: | The changes of food preferences of persons who were initially 60 years and older were determined by comparing responses to surveys taken in 1975 and 1985. In 1985 the foods chosen as liked were softer foods with general decreases in preferences for protein and fatty foods. There was an increase in the amount of carbohydrate foods preferred. In 1975 the food items liked the most were beef, potatoes, chicken, green beans, pie, pork, dried beans, lettuce salad, fish and cake. In 1985 the foods liked the most often were potatoes, chicken, beef, pie, green beans, fish, fruit, meat, lettuce salad and ice cream. Nine of the top eleven foods disliked in 1985 were vegetables, while eight of the top ten foods disliked in 1975 were vegetables. Items from the basic four food groups were chosen as "good for you" the most frequently in both the 1975 and 1985 surveys. |
