And yet this is not (so) true in Europe, where (1) people eat out less but (2) people pay more for restaurant food.
What's the difference? Is it really just too many food vendors thinking that the $1 happy meal is their competition? Or what?
EDIT: a better formulation, from a reply I wrote below: I'll restate it somewhat differently: eating out in Europe more accurately reflects the full cost of everyone involved making close to a living wage.
