Abstract
Consumption and use patterns for selected dairy products and their substitutes were described and related to certain socio-economic variables for consumers living in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The data for this thesis were gathered by means of a survey conducted from April 1967 through June 1967.
Salt Lake City households were large consumers of fluid milk, evaporated milk, butter, margarine, fruit juice and fruitade when compared to the western region and the nation.
By calculating the income elasticities for each of the four types of products, all were shown to be superior products with the exception of canned milk.
Age, education and employment status of the homemaker generally exerted a positive influence on the per capita family consumption of the four product-groupings. Age and sex of the individual were both significant in determining the amount of fluid milk consumed.
People tended to drink more milk for breakfast, then lunch, dinner and between meals respectively.
