Wheat consumption in the United States shows long term decline leveling off
Americans have eaten less wheat than their parents with per capita use falling from 167 pounds in 1950 to 147 in 1960 and stabilizing around 146 pounds by 1966. Industry efforts by bakers and millers aim to maintain this level while population growth could raise total consumption.
