Did you know that 75% of all restaurant sales in the US are for fast food, not many people cooking. My husband heard this on the history channel today.

I skip fast food as much as possible. Although, I do like taco bell! But not more than once a month if that. I like to eat where I can have a margarita, or 2, or 3, or>>

LOL

75% of all restaurant sales are fast food.... so, of all the people that are eating out, 75% of them are going to the fast food joints. I don't think it means that 75% of people are eating out all the time.
I think I saw a study that showed that more people are cooking and eating at home because of the economy.
I sure eat out a lot less, and my waistline has thanked me!! :lol:

how sad...i've never eaten food in one, i like coffee from a couple though :)
my graddaughter's would have starved years ago if it weren't for fast food, seems like they are always on the go and eating in the vehicle....i don't know where my dd got this ...from me not ever taking them to fast food resturants when she was growing up maybe?

I always look at the restaurant parking lots and be it high end or fast food, the lots are full. I have friends that eat out 5 out of 7 nights, they say its cheaper for the two of them to eat out rather than cook, I don't agree and we eat at home.

Most of the time I am cooking. I am not a fast food fan, however I do get to "out" to eat at a restaurant about 3 times a month.

why not skip the food and just go for the margherita...They contain fruit and water, two things you need to stay healthy!
