The charts below show the percentage of food budget the average family spent on restaurant meals in different years. The graph shows the number of meals eaten in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants.
The pie charts give information about the amount of expenditure spent on restaurant meals, the line graph illustrates how many fast food meals and sitdown restaurants meal were between 1970 and 2000.
It is clear that food budget on restaurant dishes was stretched and the number of meals in fast food stores also went up significantly over the examined period.
Looking at the pie charts for more detail, in 1970, only one tenth of people’s money was allocated to eat out. 20 years later, this figure rose to 35%. The year 1990 saw a remarked increase when 50% of food budget went to restaurant foods, which was a five-fold increase compared to the proportion in 1970.
The second graph demonstrates that during 30-year period, people seemed to have a preference for fast food. In 1970, the number of meals in fast food and sitdown restaurants was the same, at 20 meals per year. From 1970 onwards, these two figures experienced increases. There was a linear rise in the number of food courses consumed in fast food restaurant and it reached an all-time high at around 80 meals in 2000. A similar trend was exhibited in food consumption in restaurants where people love sitting to eat, which rose from approximately 35 meals in 1980 to nearly short of 50 in 2000.
