“…changes of diets with economic development because of the increasing per capita incomes have been well documented in Blandford (1984), garnaut and Ma (1992), Mitchell et al (1997) and Wu and Wu (1997). Most of the previous studies (Baharumshah and Mohamed 1993;Mustapha 1994;Mustapha et al 1999Mustapha et al , 2000Mustapha et al and 2001ishida et al 2003) have described that the Malaysian diet has become more westernized.…”

As a one of the most rapidly developing countries in Asia, there have been notable changes in Malaysian food consumption pattern. Such changes in Malaysia play an important role in the outlook for future in Malaysian agri-food industry. By using Household Expenditure Survey 2004/2005 data, this study aims to build a complete demand system of food in Malaysia via Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS), with incorporation of the Stone price index and the Laspeyres price index respectively. The empirical results show that the application of the Laspeyres price index produces more plausible estimates of expenditure and own-price elasticities in Malaysia. In the estimation of the LA/AIDS with incorporation of the Laspeyres price index, the estimated expenditure elasticities show that demands for meat (1.4064), fish (1.2440), vegetables (1.1729), and fruits (1.0905) are likely to grow faster than other traditional main calorie sources-rice (0.9091) and bread & other cereals (0.3177) in corresponding to positive income effect in future. This study shows that as Malaysian society becomes more affluent, Malaysian consumers are increasingly seeking for higher value protein based products, as well as functional healthy foods.

“…convergence in food consumption, has increased over the years for a number of reasons (Healy, 2014;Kalawole, 2015;Wan, 2005). Consequently, besides the use of traditional measures of convergence, such as gamma and sigma convergence (Barro & Sala-i Martin, 1992;Regmi & Unnevehr, 2005;Sengul & Sengul, 2006;Wan, 2005), different econometric models (Connor, 1994;Elsner & Hartmann, 1998;Herrmann & Roder, 1995;Kalawole, 2015;Lyons et al, 2009;Wan, 2005), cluster analysis and data mining (Balanza et al, 2007;Blandford, 1984;Gil & Gracia, 2000;Gil et al, 1995;Healy, 2014;Lazaroua et al, 2012;Pérez-Ortiz et al, 2014;Petrovici et al, 2005;Sengul & Sengul, 2006;Tukker et al, 2011) have been adopted to detect and analyse period of convergence in food consumption. In this study, gamma convergence, as defined by Wan (2005), has been used to provide a first insight on the convergence in food consumption across EU countries over time.…”

The aim of the paper is to suggest a novel clustering technique to explore the changes of the food diet in 40 European countries in accordance with common European policies and guidelines on healthy diets and lifestyles. The proposed clustering algorithm is based on copulas and it is called CoClust. The CoClust algorithm is able to find clusters according to the multivariate dependence structure of the data generating process. The database analysed contains information on the proportions of calories from 16 food aggregates in 40 European countries observed over 40 years by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The findings suggest that European country diets are changing, individually or as a group, but not in a unique direction. Central and Eastern European countries are becoming unhealthier, while the tendency followed by the majority of the remaining countries is to integrate the common European guidelines on healthy, balanced, and diversified diets in their national policies.

Key contributions towards understanding nutritional changes in modern societies from the viewpoint of social sciences have been made in the European framework. Existing Spanish studies echo the tendencies followed in other countries by anthropologists and sociologists. These works can be included within a wideranging debate on eating habits that has arisen from two novel facts: food options have increased making choice complicated, but the traditional agents that set norms no longer offer clearcut guidance. In this study the main European perspectives are set out from a social viewpoint. An explanation is offered as to the stance sociologists and especially Spanish sociologists are adopting in these discussions. In addition, research proposals are put forward.
