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, there was a downward trend in the proportion of people going to fast food restaurants every day, several times a week, once a week and never, while an upward trend can be seen in once a week and several times a year.
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 by 1% in the first three years, from 4% to 3% and from 5% to 4% respectively, and then in the following years it remained stable.
However, the date of once or twice a month experienced a rise from 30% to 34%, with a sharp dip at 25% in 2006. Also, the figure for several times a year first rose moderately to 15% in 2006 from 13% in 2003, and then leveled off until 2013.
