According to a poll in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A recent Harris Poll showed 61 percent of U.S. adults say they'll likely spend less in restaurants, while 58 percent say they'll cut back on entertainment during the next six months.
Those sentiments haven't changed much over the past three years, according to Harris, which has been tracking Americans' spending and savings habits. These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,499 adults surveyed online between Nov. 7 and Nov. 14 by Harris Interactive. The latest responses are similar to those from a similar survey conducted in May.
The average person typically spends about 46% of his/her food budget on dining out. Slightly over 32% is spent dining outside of the home. Given the results from the poll if over 60% plan to spend less on dining out and make more meals at home, do you think that would affect the obesity rate?
Keeping it local, Houston was ranked number 1 in terms of cities the dine out. The average Houstonians ate their meals out three times per week. The current obesity rate is a little less than 30%. Maybe next year people will live healthier lives void of overpriced meals that are high in calories. What's your thoughts?
