The chart shows the percentage of food budget the average family spent on restaurant meals in these different years from 1970 to 2000. The chart describes the percentage of the food budget spent on restaurant meals and home cooking. Clearly, we see that in 1970 it was 10% for restaurant meals and 90% for home cooking. In the eighties, we can see that it started to increase to reach 15% for restaurant meals and 85% for home cooking. In 1990, it increased considerably to reach 35% for restaurant meals and 65% for home cooking. Then going to 2000, restaurant meals increased and even became as same as home cooking.

In the graph, during the thirty years from 1970 to 2000, we can notice that sit-down restaurant meals were decreasing compared to the fast-food meals that were increasing in high percentages.

Ultimately, people prefer eating fast food over time because it is fast and has many spices, but they don’t notice that it isn’t healthy for them.
