I already own this insightful work and I was quite surprised to see that no one had yet reviewed this book! This work is by no means an economics textbook, rather it focuses on discussions of economic theory and analytical procedures in the area of food demand and consumption behaviors. Offering a review of current contributions to demand analysis, this work also addresses some of the problems and issues associated with demand analysis. Overall, Raunikar and Huang's piece represents a nice integrated work providing basic information on economic theory and data, recent applications and interpretations of both complete and partial demand systems, as well as key insights into the nutritional adequacy of foods relevant to food purchasing behaviors and how public policy impacts nutrition in the US.
