...disastrous harvest in 1975; because of an 83-million-ton grain shortage, the Soviets were obliged to buy 35 million tons from the U.S. and other foreign countries. The winter-wheat crop this year has already proved disappointing. Some Washington experts predict that shortages of bread and especially meat and dairy products will become so acute by next spring that strikes and even riots could break out. These disorders are most likely to occur in provincial towns, but not in Moscow and other big cities that hold high priorities for food distribution. The distress slaughter of cattle last autumn...

Middle-income families waste more food than either the rich or poor. Low-income people eat as much meat as those who are better off but consume proportionately more vitamins, liquor and bread. During the beef shortage of 1973, householders threw away about 9% of the beef they bought, perhaps because they were purchasing unfamiliar cuts or unusually large quantities...
