"Eating Patterns in America"

The NPD Group (New Product Development) conducts extensive retail market research for a range of industries. They recently put out a report on consumers' eating habits- it's the gruop's annual "Eating Patterns in America" report. I compiled some information for a consumer report during one of our Tuesday (10/14) newscasts. Here are some interesting findings...

-Dieting has hit a new low
-Americans are eating more at home, but not using restaurants any less
-Stopping at restaurants for breakfast has hit a new high
-More snacking is happening in the morning than the evening
-More people are grilling out in the winter
