Solo Dining

NPD reports that Americans eat breakfast alone 60 percent of the time, either away from home or on the go. Breakfasts are often eaten at school, or under time constraints. The same goes with lunches, 55 percent of which are solo meals. And nearly a third of dinners are consumed in a solo setting. In addition to more hectic lifestyles across the country, another driving factor is that 27 percent of American households consist of just one inhabitant, the highest percentage of one-person homes in US history, according to U.S. Census data.
