The bar graph illustrates the frequency at which people living in the USA have become habituated to visiting restaurants for fast food in 2003, 2006, and 2013. As reflected by the x-axis, the frequency of eating at restaurant has been expressed in terms of time, particularly whether or not they eat every day, several times a week, once a week, once or twice a month, a few times a year and or those who never eat at restaurants, in each year, while the x-axis represents the proportion of people belonging to this category.
At first glance, it is evident that most people are accustomed to visiting restaurants from a week to about once or twice a month during each observed year. Although they are more likely to have their meals at restaurants, there are also groups who either regularly go for having food outside or never pay a visit, though the proportion of that is substantially small.
In 2003 and 2006, around 30% of people had junk food outside once a week and once or twice a month. However, following 2006, fewer people were having lunch every once a week, with a modest decline to 28% from around 33% in 2013. Instead, the percentage of people having a meal outside once or twice a month increased from 2006 to 2013, where about 35% of them changed their tendency to visit junk food restaurants. Apart from that, less than 20% of people went to restaurants several times a week during the years observed
In addition, it is highly unlikely that people go outside for meals every day, with only 5% of them eating at fast food restaurants in all three years. Similarly, the proportion of people who never had food outside is also small, around the exact figure (approximately 5%) as those eating outside daily.
