37. To conclude,I would like to state that from the diet survey of LIG &
HIG,the variety of food consumption is vey common in both the
families.They are very conceous about taking the food but the choice
of food is very limited.
Some people were very uncomfortable or shy to share their food intake
with unknown person or with others during survey , so they probably
hid some food item,they had eaten which is known as PHANTOM
PHENOMENON and some times they take some name of foods they
had not eaten which is known as SLOPING PHENOMENON.
If these the PHANTOM PHENOMENON & SLOPING PHENOMENON
arepresent in survey then this is a drawback,in this type of survey
hinders accuracy in data.
In our survey both the families were very co-operative and helpful.So it
was very easy to get data during diet survey.
