If you compare the cost of ‘eating in’ at a restaurant, to that of take out from the same, it’s substantially cheaper. So I’d say it’s a lot to do with cost. I recall it being described as people want a treat, and when times are hard they swap the restaurant for take out, or go to a cheaper one. By making ‘nicer’ meals to eat at home the supermarkets play into that trend.
