Changing eating habits in america

Highlights of this fascinating Chicago Sun-Times article are as follows:

• Percent of in-home main meals including fresh produce dropped from 55.5% in 1985 to 45.9% in 2004.
• Annual restaurant meals eaten in the car per person has risen from 19 in 1985 to 32 in 2005.
• Sandwiches are the number one most often eaten food in America.
• The annual number of main meals skipped per person went from 102 in 1985 to 114 this year.

What's most obvious from the "Eating Patterns in America" report is that since 1985, not much has changed in what Americas want to eat. Sandiwches, potatoes, cereal, bread, and chips are all in the top 10 most consumed foods.
