[Comparison of dietary surveys in Germany and Great Britain regarding objectives, methodology and results].
Referring to the data of the National Food Consumption Study in Germany and the Dietary and Nutritional Survey of British Adults, this article compares the food intake of German and British adults. Such a comparison is possible because both studies have mainly the same methodology. The comparison of the food intake of German and British adults points out food groups which Germans consume in higher amounts than British people do. To this category belong meat products and sausages, eggs, cheese and cottage cheese, butter, fat for cooking and salad oil, bread and pastries, vegetables, fruit, preserves and soft drinks. The Germans consume less meat, fish and fish products, milk and milk products, pasta, rice and miscellaneous cereals, potatoes, sugar, sweets and tea than the British people do.
