Willis outlines 1946 food outlook and meat per capita trend
Willis projects a per capita meat average of 145 to 155 pounds for 1946, possibly higher late in the year, versus 126 pounds before the war. Dairy shortages are not expected except for butter, which should improve over 1945. With armed forces cutbacks, more poultry should reach civilians, and egg supply is expected to meet demand at reduced prices.
