In terms of eating out, for sure, but cooking meals at home is both healthier and more affordable than eating out anywhere is. Too many parents these days lack the motivation and energy to cook a meal for their families 7 days a week. Not saying it's unbelievable; so many families have two working parents, often with multiple jobs.
I do have friends who grew up eating out, and unfortunately as adults, they make easy decisions for food that aren't especially healthy or cost effective, and lack the skills to budget and prepare food themselves.
