insight into such things as the overall survey procedure, the estimated uncertainties in some reported values, the preferences in preparation and consumption of many food items, and the can conversion data (grams of food per 12 oz can) for some food items. In the time available, LLL has used the dietary results of the IMD questionnaires to determine the mean intakes in grams/day of subsistence and imported:foods under both normal and famine conditions for adult males, adult females, through 11, and children in the 0 through 3, 4 and 12 through 17 year ranges. However, before presenting the results for mean intakes, a brief description of the procedure is in order. Initially, we examined each questionnaire to determine the total number of individual food items indicated as preferred. Once this was done, we established a standard computer card format for all the food items and then transferred each individuals monthly dietary preferences to cards. Where an individual showed no preference (response) for a specific food item, a blank field appears on the card. In those cases where an individuél showed a preference for a specific organ of domestic meat (pork) or poultry (chicken), they have been so recorded. However, in those cases where more than one organ was preferred, but no relative preference piven, we have arbitrarily recorded them under the liver. Concurrently, we convert the 12 oz developed the can conversion data necessary cans/month into grams/day. The methods used determine these conversions were many and varied. 5011107 to In some cases, cans were packed with the specific food item and weighed; to 12 oz in others, the
