Task 1: eating habit

The information in Pie chart and graph describes about eating habit and budget for eating of an average family from 1970 to 2000.
From 1970 to 2000, the food budget for eating at restaurants had increased rapidly and stably. In 1970, only 10% of food budget was spent for eating outside but this trend rose up to 15% in ten years later. Twenty years later, in 1990 the budget for restaurant meals became nearly 4 times larger with 35%. Eventually, there was the equality of the money spent on home cooking and restaurant meal in 2000.
The type of food that families ate during this period also changed. In 1970, both fast food and sit down restaurant meals were eaten equally with 20 meals per year on average. From that point, on overall view, although both kinds of meals were increasing through out years, but fast food had it faster growing. In 1990, about 55 fast food meals were chosen to eat by customers annually when there was only 45 sit down restaurant meals per year. Ten years later, most of meals were eaten in fast food restaurant about 90 meals per year and nearly double the number of meals eaten in sits down restaurants.
