Dining out has always been a popular social activity. These days, eating away from home is a part of everyday life that many people take for granted. However, meals in restaurants were once only an occasional indulgence enjoyed by a privileged few.
The popular food service revolution of the last 50 years changed all that. Today, dining out is a social activity enjoyed every day throughout the world by people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, 16 percent of all meals in the United States are eaten away from home. For McDonald’s, this little bit of sociology translates into 22 million customers every day across the nation.
