Excerpt from Homemakers' Use of and Opinions About Selected Fruits and Fruit Products To provide these data, the u.s. Department of Agriculture conducted a nationwide survey of consumers' attitudes. Such information is an important aid in maintaining or increasing markets for, and consumers' satisfaction with, agricultural products. Data were obtained in personal interviews with a national probability sample of homemakers, chosen as representative of households throughout the Nation. The home maker is defined as the person with primary responsibility for purchasing and preparing food for the household. In most households this person is a woman, but men qualified as respondents in about 5 percent of the sample households. Interviewing was done from mid November 1963 to mid-january 1964. Interviews required, on the average, about an hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
