About this magazine
Once again we take our annual look at what Americans are eating, where they are purchasing their food, how much they are spending, and related topics of interest to farmers, the food industry, policymakers, and consumers.
In 1996, the share of food expenditures spent away from home fell slightly to 45.8 percent from 46 percent in 1995. Spending at restaurants, fast-food outlets, and other eating places rose 2.8 percent in 1996, smaller than the 3.7-percent increase in food spending at supermarkets, specialty foodstores, and other retail outlets.
