USDA 1983 family food plans
1983
Cleveland, Linda E. | Peterkin, Betty B.
The 1983 USDA family food plans reflect the most readily available and current information on the cost of food eaten at home. The food plans are a set of nutritious diets categorized into 4 cost levels (thrifty, low, moderate, and liberal). The food plans are used by State and private institutions to plan food purchases. The thrifty food plan is used as a basis for USDA's Food Stamp Program. The food plan diets are used to encourage families to buy foods from all the food groups to ensure a nutritious diet. A number of assumptions are made related to the development of the food plans (e.g., nutrient density or experiences of a food). The purposes of establishing food plans (at different costs for nationwide use) and estimating the nutrient content and cost of foods (at different costs for nationwide use) and estimating the nutrient content and cost of foods (in the food plans), foods within food groups, and by levels of household use were to allow families to obtain the greatest nutrient density at the most reasonable costs.
