The SHFB does not aim to prescribe what people should
eat, but to estimate a minimum budget threshold below
which healthy eating is not possible for well-described
hypothetical types of families. Table 2 shows the daily
amounts of foods foreseen for each household type. The
necessary kitchen equipment to prepare, eat, store and
conserve the various food ingredients is displayed in
Table 3. According to the focus group participants we did
not include egg cups, because their use is very rare in
Spain. Likewise, the coffee maker was changed for the
most conventional type in our context.
