The chart below shows how frequently people in the USA ate in fast food restaurants between 2003 and 2013.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given bar chart compares the USA people's frequency of eating at fast-food restaurants from 2003 to 2013.
Overall, it is clear that over the years, while most people in the USA chose to eat at fast-food restaurants once a week, the percentage of people who ate at such places daily is the lowest among all categories.
In 2003, over 30% of people in the USA went to such restaurants once a week. This figure grew by nearly 3% in the following three years, but then fall significantly to only 28% at the end of the period. Also, the percentage of those who ate in fast food restaurants several times a week shared the same trend, increasing from 17% in 2003 to 20% in 2006 and dropping to 16% in 2013. Nevertheless, people who ate at these places at least once a month made up to 30% of the USA people in 2003 and reached a peak of 33% in 2013 despite a dramatic decline to 25% in 2006.
In contrast, there were approximately 4% of people in the USA eating at fast-food restaurants every day in 2003; however, this figure then dropped by 1% in the next three years and stayed unchanged until 2013. Similarly, the percentage of people who never ate at fast-food restaurants decreased from 5% in 2003 to 4% in 2006 and stayed stable until 2013. The opposite trend was witnessed in the percentage of people who only eat at such restaurants a few times a year, increasing from 13% in 2003 to 15% in 2006 and remained steady until 2013.
