The new study shows a "clear tendency to return to pre-pandemic habits" in many regions of the world. But "if everyone is returning to normal ... it's an exacerbated trend for the United States in Northern America more generally," Andrew Dugan, the research director of the study, told Axios.People in the U.S. and Canada ate the fewest number of home-cooked meals per week out of any region in the world in 2022, averaging only 8.4 meals per week — the same rate they exhibited in 2019.
In the U.S. specifically, the eating-at-home rate reached a "historic low" last year, at 8.2 meals per week compared to 9.4 seen in 2020. The downward trend in North America is being driven largely by the U.S., whose population is significantly larger than Canada's, Dugan said.The new study showed a widening gender gap when it comes to home cooking.Between the lines:
