New Takeout Statistics

There was an article published in Wisconsin State Journal regarding a dramatic rise in takeout consumption and decrease in home cooking.
"The number of dinners made at home from scratch continues to freefall. It dropped another 7 percent over the last two years, and now accounts for 32 percent of all evening meals in the U.S., according to the National Restaurant Association."
This trend isn't surprising, considering how busy everyone is these days... but it's also interesting in the fact that people don't just go out to eat, but instead get takeout to still enjoy a family dinner together.
