Food consumption in India is driven by lots of factors such as cultural fasting, eating seasonal food, avoiding non-vegetarian food for certain time etc. Household consumption of staple food remains almost constant. In urban areas, there has been growing demand for off the shelf and ready to eat food products sold in the market which may have escaped from data collected for this research.
Sorry, there doesn't seem to be a note as to why it isn't available. Could be a number of reasons: IP issues, technical problems, removal/omission requested by the instructor.
curious about the united states as well as europe, so when the 'central populations' began having more money, 'earning larger incomes' (for example around the 60s-80s) did they also begin eating fewer calories, eating less? or is this a more current feature in specific areas in the world?
Potentially. There are some studies that have shown that there is a link between height and nutrition especially during early development years. In-fact, there have been some studies on famine and its link to health across multiple generations as well.
