Abstract

The food expenditure pattern is an excellent Indication of existing economic well being of people. If a society is wealthy proportionately high expenditure will be on secondary necessities, comfort and luxurious. On the other hand if the society is at subsistence level, the people will spend proportionately more income on food only. Engle's law also states that the poorer the family, the greater is the proportion of its total income that must be devoted to the provision of food.
