At first I was surprised when I read that McDonald's was up, but it makes sense. It can be hard to cook for one or two people as cheap as you could eat at a fast food place (this assumes you're only preparing one meal, not making extras or leftovers).<br><br>It makes sense that Wal-Mart sales are up.

I just enjoy cooking my own food, and find it more satisfying to prepare it myself, even if it doesn't taste as good.

Plus I really like my home, so I'd rather hang out there than in a restaraunt.

Plus I like knowing what's actually in my food, too.

I'm sure this will blow over…all these things do. But maybe for some people it will stick.
