Over this time period, increases were noted in soft drinks, whole grain products, grain mixtures, crackers/popcorn/pretzels/corn chips, fried potatoes, non-citrus juices, lowfat milk, skim milk, cheese, candy, and fruit drinks.

Decreases were noted in whole milk, yeast breads, green beans, corn/peas/lima beans, beef, pork and eggs.
