摘要：The share of food dollars spent
away from home climbed to
an all-time high of 47 percent
of food expenditures in 1998. Revisions
based on the 1997 Economic
Census by the Census Bureau of
the U.S. Department of Commerce
also show that 1998 expenditures
for eating out have grown at a
faster pace than retail food
expenditures.
Food spending in the United
States rose 3.6 percent to $756.2 billion
between 1997 and 1998 (table
1). Total expenditures for eating out
(food away from home) rose 4.6
percent, to $354.4 billion in 1998.
Retail food expenditures (food at
home) increased at a slower pace
than 1997¡¯s 4.1-percent rise, up 2.8
percent to $401.8 billion.
