It's partially due to the fact that dining out or even take away is the first thing people cut off as soon as they run out of money or need to save up for a big ticket item.

Its also that instead of going to a proper resturant people can just go get fast food very cheap.

A proper resturant, even a budget one can't compete with Mcdonalds.

Not true anymore. With all the fast food places raising prices and lowering portions, it is nearly the same price to just go to a proper restaurant instead.

I agree that fast food joints are getting more expensive ( already are ) and probably the most sensible and healthier choice nowadays is grabbing a bite from a deli shop.
