Here's a question that I should think is difficult to answer: How come, in this horrible economic crisis, with people not able to make mortgage payments and people expecting to be helped to do same by this bailout package (funny, I received no such help when I was forced to sell my house during my legal problems), how come, I ask, are people eating out every single night in every sort of restaurant imaginable? I go to restaurants and am astonished to see families of six eating out, and doing so consistently - does no parent cook anymore? And these aren't inexpensive restaurants - there are no inexpensive restaurants any more and these people aren't eating light and the average meal with no extras is at least ten bucks for just the food part, so their spending over sixty or seventy dollars every time they eat out. And that's ONE meal.
