Summary/Abstract: The author analyses food consumption based on CSO's household surveys. The article presents a survey method as well as an analysis of the food consumption in socio-economic people groups. This allowed to draw a conclusion on existing two food consumption standards: urban and rural. Both patterns differ significantly from correct nutrition principles. The conclusions indicate necessity of social education to popularise more rational diet habits. Health requirements of food quality and nutrition should be observed by consumers as well as food producers.
