Abstract

As part of this dietary transition, this chapter analyses the pervasiveness of eating out, both spatially and across different expenditure groups. The analysis suggests that eating out is not just a middle income/expenditure class urban phenomenon, but far more pervasive. Further, as food composition and quality differ (relative to home-cooked food), there are nutritional implications.
