The pie charts show the percentage of the food budget that people spent on restaurant meals and home cooking in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000. The line graph shows the number of fast food meals and sit-down restaurant meals that people ate per year in the same years.
Overall, people spent more and more money on eating out over the period, and by 2000 it was equal to home cooking. Fast food meals increased much faster than sit-down restaurant meals.
In 1970, only 10% of the food budget was spent on restaurant meals, and 90% was spent on home cooking. This figure rose to 15% in 1980 and 35% in 1990. In 2000, half of the food budget was spent on restaurant meals and the other half on home cooking.
According to the line graph, people ate about 20 fast food meals and 20 sit-down restaurant meals per year in 1970. In 1980, sit-down meals increased to 35, which was more than fast food at 30. However, after that fast food increased very quickly to 55 in 1990 and 86 in 2000. Sit-down restaurant meals only rose slowly to 46 and then 50.
