Canada eats out

OTTAWA (UPC) - Within
six years, Canadians will
spend as much money
wining and dining at their
favorite restaurant as they
do at the supermarket.

A government report said
Wednesday that Canadians
now spend one-third of
every food dollar on faod
and alcoholic ‘beverages in
restaurants, but between
1982 and 1985 this will in-
crease to 50 per cent.

Canadians’ changing
eating habits will represent a
boon for the restaurant
industry, which will grow by
10 per cent or an additional
3,500 outlets in the next five
years, the report says.
