Summary

This survey examines respondents' eating habits and views on nutrition. Topics covered include the amount of attention Americans paid to what they eat, junk food, the use of microwave ovens, the length of time for meal preparation, and how much attention the respondent gave to dietary concerns such as cholesterol, salt, fats, additives and preservatives, calories, and caffeine. Additional questions asked of respondents include what they ate for the previous day's meals and snacks, who did most of the shopping for food and cooking in the respondent's home, which of the previous day's meals the respondent ate with the people they lived with, and how many times a week the respondent exercised. Background information on individuals includes age, income, sex, marital status, education, and race.
