At the same time, however, retail food prices went up 4 percent and personal consumption expenditures on food went up 6 3 percent. The price and expenditure figures are different because they reflect different things Retail prices for food are measured by the Department of Labor as part of the Consumer Price Index and show the cost of a marketbasket of items The expenditure statistic comes from the Department of Commerce; it reflects not only inflation, but also changing quantities and tastes In general, Americans ate less red meat, fresh fruits and dairy products in 1982 than they did a year earlier They ate more poultry and fresh vegetables Smallest in Years The overall increase in food prices in 1982 was the smallest in six years. The biggest jumps were in the cost of pork, oranges and apples. The price of chickens, potatoes and fats and oils decreased. The USDA estimates that consumers spent $299 billion in 1982 for food produced on U.S. farms. It also says farmers got about $83 billion, with $216 billion or more than of the total, going for costs involved in getting the food from the farm to the shopper. The government statistics show the share of disposable income that Americans spend on all foods, domestic and imported, at home and in restaurants, stayed about the same from 1981 to 1982 - going from 16 2 percent to 16 percent The USDA calculates the amount of food eaten in terms of something called a retail weight equivalent," converting raw material weights -like the carcass of a steer - into edible pounds and ounces 1,387 Pounds of Grub The newest numbers show food consumption in 1982 was s 1,387 4 pounds almost of a ton of food per person The figure was down about seven pounds or a little less than 0 5 percent from 1981 Each person ate about 231 pounds of meat in 1982 - also down about-sevepounds from the previous a year consumption of red meat dropped from 157.1 pounds to 150 5 pounds, while poultry consumption went up from 62 8 pounds per-capit- ted they goofed The four scientists have, in fact been (licked bv a special committee as payload specialist trainees for a r.tflb mission, said a space agency official who asked not to foe named .Globe-Democra- Meal Americans Spend 6.3 Percent More For Ealing Just a Little Bit Less 'or Shuttle six-da- l,(s s banners and small American flags Smiling and wearing a green cap . marked Goodman shook hands with Navy officials and then rushed to hug wives of lus squadron mates Goodman's squadron is aboard the aircraft carrier John F Kennedy off the coast of Lebanon "This is home territory for me. a lot more familiar faces."
