Such an informative post and a lot of these facts are quite true. I know many people I know would rather not go out and eat and instead do many more meals at home. Budgets have decreased drastically over the past few months, but at least many are learning how to live with their new budgets and hopefully maintain healthy diets.

Hi Janet-
Interesting post. These stats make me wonder if increased cooking at home is a trend that’s here to stay, or one that will rapidly reverse once the economy improves. The other thing I wonder about is what type of “cooking” at home is on the rise. If people are more motivated to save money while shopping, frequently it’s the more highly processed foods that are dirt cheap. Coupons also tend to be more heavily available for highly processed foods. As we know processed foods many times comes with a not so healthy price. It will be interesting to see if any measureable health consequences come about because of this dip in the economy.
Thanks for the info!
