The charts below show the percentage of their food budget the average family spent on restaurant meals in different years. The graph shows the number of meals in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants. eX5B
The pie chart shows the expenditure proportion on meals prepared at home and at restaurants. Meanwhile, the line graph illustrates how many meals eaten in both fast food and sit-down restaurants per family from 1970 to 2000. It is clear that there was an increasing preference towards the restaurant meals. At the same time, fast food restaurant meals dramatically increased compared to sit-down restaurant meals. As can be seen from the pie chart, families saw a sharp increase in the number of restaurant meals over 30 past years. In 1970, there was just only a 10% budget for meals at restaurants, and after a decade, this figure rose by 5%. The percentage more than doubled in 1990 (at 35%) and increased three-fold in 2000 (at 50%) compared to 1980. Turning to the line graph, in the 1970s both restaurants had the same starting point at 20 number meals/per year. In 1980, the number of sitdown restaurant meals went up to over 30, whereas, the fast food restaurant meals were just 28 meals. However, fast food restaurant meals rocketed in 1990 (at 60 meals). This figure reached a peak of 90 number meals/per year in 2000.
