0:00 A statistic that I saw that I thought was pretty interesting was fifty percent of money spent on food for a household is money spent away from home, uh aka restaurants, bars, etc.
0:12 Um and then the other obviously 50% is spent on food at the grocery store, which I think is pretty concerning because for the amount of economic uncertainty right now and low consumer sentiment, I think it's kind of foolish for people to be spending more money out at restaurants and bars uh when grocery stores are are definitely the more financially stable option.
0:32 So I I think that's pretty interesting, and I wonder why that numbers keep continue to climb.
0:37 Uh because there was a period of time at the beginning of this year when uh f spending on food away from home was a a lot lower um than it had been in years past, and that number is slowly uh uh up ticking ever since uh the past couple months.
0:54 So I think that's pretty interesting in times of economic uncertainty.
