### Discussion Question
What assumption can be made about the eating habits over the years?

More people are:
- A. trying to eat healthier foods
- B. eating more beef than chicken
- C. becoming vegetarians
- D. consuming whole milk dairy products

#### Analysis:
The table presents a detailed comparison of average food consumption per person per year between 1970 and "today" (as of the data provided from 1999). It reflects changes in dietary preferences and consumption patterns over time. 

- **Reduced consumption**: Eggs, red meat, and whole milk consumption have decreased.
- **Increased consumption**: Items such as cheese, fruits, grains, poultry, nonfat/1% milk, yogurt, vegetables, fats and oils, soft drinks, and sugars have all seen an increase.

This shift may indicate a trend towards more diverse and possibly healthier dietary habits, with increased consumption of poultry, grains, and vegetables, alongside a decrease in red meat and whole milk consumption.
