No they haven't, but they're not eating the same. There's a big difference between going out for a meal and opening a box of hamburger helper. I know I've cut down a lot on meat, seafood and indulgence. We've always been a mostly make food at home family. But I go out to lunch 3-4 times a week, wife and I eat out alone once a week and we take the kid out for dinner once a week. All those meals have been replaced by cheaper, less healthy food, because I'm sick of cooking. Yeah, I can still order out from favorite restaurants, we did the first week and promptly quit, the food sucks after a car ride.
People haven’t stopped eating because restaurants close.
