Abstract
The level of health inequalities has developed in Ireland in a similar way as in other Western developed countries. Socially disadvantaged people suffer worse health outcomes, some dietary related, throughout life compared with others. Using the National Nutrition Survey of 1948 (1950) and Household Budget Survey data (1994), we can see marked social variation in household purchasing patterns over the interim time period.
