That a person's chosen tradeoff might not change in a time of widescale pandemic and massive unemployment surprises me. And that a lot of articles take it granted that people will continue to eat out perplexes me.

We ate out a fair bit before covid19 cases took off but haven't once since March... wasn't even something that we considered at any point.

TBH food at home has been more enjoyable than what we were getting out, the time suck in cleanup is real-- but it isn't like we're going anywhere. :)
