Quote from nutmeg:
Sales at food stores fell 1%. Sales at restaurants and bars rose 0.2%

Perhaps this is why is doesn't look like a recession at face value. People go out to eat and restaurants are still busy
Quote from Moc Yeah:
Americans will still be lazy... No matter how bad the economy is. Pay an extra buck or 2 for someone else to cook your meal vs shopping and having to cook and clean up.
Gotta love that American attitude. lol
