USDA ERS Food Dollar

For each $1 spent on food in a given context, where does that dollar go? (More info)

See it on github pages: http://rmosolgo.github.io/usda-ers-food-dollar/

Example

How

• Pull data from the API with ruby food_dollar.rb {API_KEY}
• Write data into food_dollar.json
• Render charts with index.html + food_dollar.js

To do

• Handle missing values
  • Right now they're 0 but that causes the graph to be equally split
  • seems like some tables only have data for certain years
