Every Israeli has at his disposal an amount of food of approximately 3,545 calories per day. However, Israeli men consume 2,650 calories and women - only 1,850 calories. This is the caloric value of food offered to the Israeli public in stores and markets, every day, as published yesterday by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) on the occasion of International Food Day that took place today. The data is correct for 2003.
The caloric value of the food supply per person in Israel per day is similar to the level of consumption accepted in most industrialized countries. It is higher than usual in Middle Eastern countries. However, the percentage of calories originating from plants in Israel is similar to that of other Middle Eastern countries. The caloric value in 2003 was lower than the average by 3,714 - 2002 calories. The food supply per person per day consists of 107 grams of protein, 484 grams of carbohydrates and 144 grams of fat.
The calorie supply indicated in the report provides a general and indirect indication of the daily calorie intake. In parallel with the economic growth in recent decades, a national health and nutrition survey conducted recently by the Ministry of Health states: "There is a noticeable increase in the consumption of fats and sugars, as well as an increase in the consumption of meat and its products."
The World Health Organization examines the problem of obesity according to body mass data (body weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters). According to the organization, overweight is defined as a body mass between 25 and 30, and obesity is defined as a body mass equal to or greater than 30. About a third of the women and almost two thirds of the men in Israel are overweight; And about 26% of women and 20% of men suffer from obesity.
The report also states that in 2003, on average, 121 kg of bread and grains were available to the public per person; 254 kg of vegetables; 124 kg of fruit; 47 kg of potatoes; 32 kg of sugar and sweets; 71 kg of meat and fish; 236 eggs; 177 liters of milk; 70 liters of alcoholic and other beverages; N-29 kg of oils and fats.
About 99.5% of Israel's grain supply depends on imports, as does 94.8% of its sugar supply.
