  • Dining out Guide
    Tips ● Choose water when available or stick to calorie free options such as diet soda, unsweetened tea, coffee or sparkling water. ● Ask the staff to box up half of your meal when you receive it to bring home and have for a later meal or you meal the next day. ● Make sure to order your dressings and sauces on the side and dip your food into them to make sure you do not go over the recommended serving size. ● When ordering a burger or sandwich, get it without the bun/bread or get it wrapped in lettuce. ● Look for items that are baked, broiled, poached, roasted, steamed or grilled and avoid foods that are fried, creamy or crispy. ● Avoid extra toppings such as cheese, which can be higher in fat and calories. ● Research the menus ahead of time so you are aware of the options they have that will fit within your plan. ● Make sure to eat how you routinely would throughout the day so you are not hungry when you get to the restaurant. You can always bring a Livea meal along. ● Avoid high fat meats like salami, bologna, pastrami, bacon, chorizo, and sausage. ● Put your utensils down in between bites to help slow down your eating. It takes about 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you are satisfied, eating slower will prevent you from overeating. ● If side dishes are starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn, peas, etc.), rice or pasta, ask to exchange them for extra non-starchy vegetables. ● Splitting a meal with someone or asking for a half portion are good ways to keep portions in check.

  • The U.S. Food and Tobacco Manufacturing Industries: Market Structure, Structural Change, and Economic Perfornnance
    The U.S. Food and Tobacco Manufacturing Industries: Market Structure, Structural Change, and Economic Perfornnance John M. Connor United States Economics. Agricultural Department of Statistics, and Economic Agriculture Cooperatives Service Report No. 4 51 THE U.S. FOOD AND TOBACCO MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES: MARKET STRUCTURE, STRUCTURAL CHANGE, AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. By John M. Connor, National Economics Division; Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service; U.S. Department of Agriculture. Agricultural Economic Report No. 451. ABSTRACT The major conclusions the National Commission on Food Marketing made in 1966 about trends in the industrial organization of the U.S. food manufacturing industries are still valid. Company numbers are declining, average market concentration is among the highest in the manufacturing sector and is rising, product diversification has risen, food advertising has more than doubled, and the profitability of very large firms has remained higher than that of smaller firms. Foreign investment is substantial and rapidly growing, most food media advertising is on TV, profit rates have risen by over 50 percent in the last 25 years, and the monopoly overcharge on processed foods is about 10 percent. Keywords: competition, food manufacturing, tobacco manufacturing. Industrial organization, market structure, performance, monopoly, oligopoly, conglomerate firms The names of proprietary firms and brand names are used in this publication to report facts on available data. The Department neither guarantees nor warrants these names and products and implies no approval of the products to the exclusion of others which may also be suitable.
