Food is the basic necessity for human survival and evolution. A
region with different food species and their abundant growth and
availability demonstrate better consumption pattern of different
food items. The purpose of this study has been to identify food
varieties and energy consumption ratio among people with low and
high income levels among thirty randomly selected Bengali Hindu
families of Kolkata, east India. In addition the study also
investigated the influence of income on the availability and
abundance of different food items and their corresponding amounts.
The survey indicated that people from low income groups
demonstrated lack of key nutrients in their regular diets with
symptoms of deficiency diseases. Income has a direct effect on the
consumption rate of foods. Low income and illiteracy were found as
the two main factors of difference between the two economic
classes. The study further highlights that higher income was
associated with better consumption of nutritious food. The current
volume will be useful for those involved in research and
development in food, food preferences and food habits, nutrition
sciences, ethnicity, socio-economic and cultural relations.
