I. The significance of the research According to John · Maynard Keynes, discussion of consumption and expenditure is important for economics, environmental protection, geographical analysis and many other fields. . In this study, analyzing the food consumption and expenditure patterns of students far from home can be used to implement university policy in the future and can provide economic and other aid to students.

Investigating household expenditure and consumption pattern is considered to be the key to monitoring and interpreting inequality, important living standards and general welfare changes. Researching household expenditure and consumer behavior also seems to be an important and promising strategy to expand and complement the mainstream approach to research inequality as an important theme in sociological and economic research Seems to be. Budget data for households and households is often used for early empirical studies, but sociology, especially empirical sociology research, ignores issues related to household expenditure and consumption. Therefore, some observers and critics of sociological research concluded that consumption in sociological research is strongly ignored (Rosenkranz and Schneider, 2000). So this is a field that needs more attention.

Research on food consumption patterns and expenditure patterns is important as it relates to poverty and social standards. Food, the most important basic need, is given priority to people's expenditure, especially for the poor. Under the changing circumstances of liberalization, privatization, and globalization, it is necessary to study changes in food consumption patterns. Since liberalization began in 1991, declining population has attracted a lot of attention, but the emphasis on the scale and method of food consumption is low. Ray and Lancaster (2005) recently showed that this link has weakened to the point that the official poverty line of India today is completely inconsistent with the poverty line based on family minimum caloric requirements.
