Potato prices are not sustained by policies, and have a tendency to alter in response to production. They are seasonal crop, small changes in demand and supply lead to rather great price variations. The consumption global trend is considered by growing demand of Asia and South America especially from Middle East, Brazil and East Asia (Figure 1). However for processing the demand is mainly from ...

Chinese immigration to America is hardly a new phenomenon; it can be dated back to the 18 century and possibly even earlier. However, the first major wave of immigration began in the mid 1800’s during the California Gold Rush and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Less than a few decades later, though, laws like the Naturalization Act of 1870 and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 188...

BACKGROUND While previous research on fast food access and purchasing has not found evidence of an association, these studies have had methodological problems including aggregation error, lack of specificity between the exposures and outcomes, and lack of adjustment for potential confounding. In this paper we attempt to address these methodological problems using data from the Victorian Lifesty...

This population-based study examined whether residential or school neighborhood access to fast food restaurants is related to adolescents' eating frequency of fast food. A classroom-based survey of racially/ethnically diverse adolescents (n=2724) in 20 secondary schools in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota was used to assess eating frequency at five types of fast food restaurants. Black, Hispanic...

BACKGROUND Although fast food consumption has been linked to adverse health outcomes, the relative contribution of fast food itself compared with the rest of the diet to these associations remains unclear. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the independent associations with overweight/obesity or dietary outcomes for fast food consumption compared with dietary pattern for the remainder of ...

OBJECTIVE To assess consumption of street food (sold by vendors) and fast food (from fast food outlets) by different ethnic groups in South Africa. DESIGN A national cross-sectional survey representative of adults (> or = 16 years, N=3827) from different ethnic groups, provinces, geographic localities, and socio-economic strata was undertaken. METHODS Trained interviewers visited participan...

The authors used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to estimate the percentage of individuals’ calories that came from fast food, fat intake attributable to fast food consumption, and fast food intake by food group. During NHANES interviews, respondents had reported their diet from the preceding 24 hours. Fast food was defined as food obtained from restauran...

A diet-patterns approach has often been used to describe eating patterns in adults but has rarely been used in adolescents. We used principal components factor analysis to: 1) describe the dietary patterns of a cohort of ethnically diverse youth during early and middle adolescence; 2) examine if the patterns persisted 5 y later; and 3) study secular trends. Project EAT-I (Time 1) collected data...
