A majority say they will tighten their belts and make smarter decisions when purchasing food.

Despite some hopeful signs of slight economic recovery, most Americans say they will eat out less and cut back on entertainment in 2012. A recent Harris Poll, as reported in the December 13, 2012, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, shows 61% of U.S. adults say they will likely spend less in restaurants, while 58% say they will curtail their entertainment budgets during the next six months.
