Dining out is the latest word in conspicuous consumption, according to a survey that shows spending in cafes and restaurants increased by 4.5% in 2016.
The latest figures from the FoodService Instituut Nederland, or FSIN, show that a total of 57 billion euros was spent on food and drinks last year, 2.1% more than in 2015.
“Food is one of the new ways for large groups of consumers to show how they are doing in life,” said Jan-Willem Grievink, director of the FSIN.
Young people are eating out more often: 29% of 18 to 29-year-olds said they had a meal out at least once a week, compared to 10% of baby boomers. However, young diners are more likely to go for cheaper meals, spending an average of 19 euros compared to 31 euros for older diners.
The trend also reflects the increasing diversity of places to eat, when places such as shopping centres have started to compete with traditional restaurants, bars and cafes.
4. What do we learn about young people from the news report?
A、They don’t spend time with their baby boomer parents.
B、They don’t like traditional restaurants, bars and cafes.
C、They may compare the cost of their food every week.
D、They may spend less on restaurant food than older people.
