只有通过定量数据，我们才能重构并试图解释我们所认为的社会变化。这一原则与消费研究特别相关：关于品味的演变，使用统计数据是必要的，以便在过去和现在之间进行严格的比较。只有按时间顺序排列的相同记录，才能避免老生常谈，避免因美化过去和对未来或多或少感兴趣的预期而设置的陷阱。在法国，我们很幸运地拥有一个可靠的数据来源，它涵盖了相当长的一段时间（至少对于社会学家来说）：法国国家统计和经济研究所（INSEE）的食品调查。这些调查从1965年至1983年每年进行一次，有两次例外，从1983年至1991年每两年进行一次（最近一次调查）。我们将根据这些调查的结果，平均对1万户家庭进行调查，并结合问卷调查和家庭日记法。尽管这些数据可能很重要，但它们不足以对过程进行结论性重构，因为它们只描述了结果。只要这些调查没有得到更深入的调查的补充，我们就必须满足于通过我们所知道的经济和社会变化对食品消费的可能影响来解释其结果。这就是我们要采用的方法。首先，我们将通过法国的数据来描述食品消费的趋势
It is only through quantitative data that we can reconstitute, and try to interpret, what we consider as social change. This principle is of particular relevance to the study of consumption: with regards to the evolution of taste, the use of statistical data is imperative in order to make a rigorous comparison between the past and the present. Chronological series of identical records alone can avoid commonplaces and circumvent the traps set by a glorification of the past as well as by the more or less interested anticipation of the future. In France we are fortunate to have at our disposal a reliable source of data which covers a rather long period of time (at least for a sociologist): the food surveys of the Institut National de la Statistique et des EtudesEconomiques (INSEE). These surveys were conducted on an annual basis from 1965 to 1983, with two exceptions, and on a biennial basis from 1983 to 1991 (the last survey issued). We will rely on the results of these investigations which surveyed an average of 10,000 households and combined the questionnaire and the household diary methods. 1 As essential as they may be, these data are not sufficient for a conclusive reconstitution of the processes of which they depict only the outcome. As long as these surveys are not complemented by more in-depth investigations, we must content ourselves with interpreting their results through what we otherwise know of the presumable influence of economic and social change on food consumption. That is the method we will follow. First, we will describe trends in food consumption through the data on French
