The chart below shows how frequently people in the USA ate in fast food restaurants between 2003 and 2013.
The bar chart compares the frequency of people in the USA eating at fast food restaurants from 2003 to 2013. Overall, during the ten years, the percentage of people eating out once a week and once or twice a month was always the largest while that of those doing so every day and never the smallest.
Starting with the frequency of every day, several times a week, once a week and never, there was a downward trend in the proportion of people going to fast food restaurants during the ten years. A significant decrease was in once a week from about 32% in 2003 to 28% in 2013, with a peak at 34% in 2006. The same trend could also be seen in several times a week, but its percentage dropped less obviously to 16% from 17%, despite a peak at 20% in 2006. The number of people eating fast food both every day and never declined in the first three years by 1%, from 4% to 3% and from 5% to 4% respectively, and then in the following years it remained stable.
Turning now to once or twice a month and a few times a year, the figures presented an upward trend over the period of the ten years. The date of once or twice a month experienced a greater rise from 30% to 34%, with a sharp dip at 25% in 2006. Also, the proportion of the other frequency first rose moderately to 15% in 2006 from 13%, and then leveled off until 2013.
