Americans are showing signs of finding balance in their eating habits. The NPD Group's 19th Annual Report on Eating Patterns in America finds Americans are not snacking more, are not using more restaurant take-out meals, are becoming more calorie conscious and are finally getting their weight under control.
"It appears that Americans are beginning to find a balance between the need for convenient, inexpensive meals and their expanding waistlines," said Harry Balzer, vice president of The NPD Group. "It makes sense that people are finding a balance as we try to get control of our weight in this country," said Balzer.
