For the inquiry four hundred families were selected and divided into eight groups, according to income, race, and, nationality. Of these, groups, the Jews proved to be the largest drinkers of milk, and the Italians and coloured people the smallest, but the coloured group consumed more butter-milk’ than any other group.
