Home cooking decreases

The Wisconsin State Journal reports:
The trend to build bigger, fancier kitchens might lead you to assume there's lots of cooking going on.

Not if you ask restaurateurs. Restaurant industry statistics show that most people aren't getting much use out of their slick new appliances and granite counters. 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.
Time is money.
