Types of Cuts of Meat. While many people typically enjoy the flavors of many different types of meat, they donât always know the differences between cuts of meat. This information can be very useful when buying and preparing meat, because the meat cuts are from specific areas of the animalâs body.
ERS food availability data suggest that Americans have been consuming less fluid milk since the 1940s. Data on per capita consumption since the 1970s (USDA-ERS, 2013a) 4 reveal a decrease in average consumption from about 0.96 cups to about 0.61 cups of fluid milk per day over the past 40 years (fig. 1).
The trend in Milk consumption was negative, with volumes contracting by -3.7% compared with 2014. More specifically, this reduction is largely attributable to the Pasteurized Milk category, which experienced sharp decreases both on a volume (-5.3%) and value (-6.1%) basis. The UHT Milk segment also faced a difficult year in 2015, but with less pronounced negative factors.
