Abstract
IT is impossible to make a detailed study of the status of nutrition in Colombia and determine the exact diet of the people because of the lack of information on the subject. No statistics are kept of the production and consumption of food articles, with the exception of meat and sugar. Therefore nobody knows what quantities of milk, bread, eggs, cheese, butter, fruits, vegetables and legumes are consumed annually. These figures could easily be obtained in the larger cities, but not in rural sections where there are no facilities for so doing.
