Surprisingly the survey shows DE (the lowest income group) consuming less corned beef than C2s (skilled workers). The survey showed that while none of those in the AB (profes- sional/managerial job) category consume corned beef on a regu- lar basis, the percentage is 15% among skilled workers and 13% among unskilled workers and re- cipients of social security. Nearly half of ABs do not consume any corned beef compared to 19% of C2s. But ABs do not shun other processed meats, in the way they shun corned beef, and their pur- chases could well include priced cuts from the delicatessen coun- ter. In fact ABs are more likely to consume processed meats than C1s (a category which includes clerical, supervisory and voca- tional occupations). In fact con- sumption of processed meats was lowest among the latter category and highest among C2s. Once again C2s were more likely to consume processed meats than DEs. This could be an indication of a lower disposable income among the latter. jdebono@mediatoday.com.mt Has your delicatessen DEBONO polled WHO warning on carinogenic effects heightened health awareness in the wake of the WHO report and an improvement in living stand- ards.
