The pie chart depicts the percentage of grocery budget spent by different households who choose to eat out, and the amount of those who eat at home in an unknown country.
Overall, the proportion of individuals who eat at home has been declining significantly throughout the years. In contrast, the percentage of people who eat out saw a significant growth, finally matching with the percentage of home cooking in 2000.
The amount of grocery budgets spent on restaurants escalated sharply by 40% from 1970 to 2000, considering that it started at a minimal 10%. In 1980, 5% was increased, which was a tiny amount. Admittedly, this percentage rose sharply by 35% in the next 30 years, ending up with 50% in 2000 when it almost overtook home cooking.
For instance, homemade food was once very popular, and it’s clear to see that a portion of 90% people ate at home during 1970, which was the vast majority. Although it saw a slight decrease during 1980, it still covered 85% of the population. Alternatively, the percentage has declined considerably during 1990 to 2000, from originally 85% all the way to 50%, while the percentage of people who eat out has reached the same level as home cooking.
