The US food macro-trend linked to the over-consumption of fast food seems to be fading due to inflation and the consequent rise in prices. This is reflected in a survey showing that almost 80% of Americans now see it as a new contemporary luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially true of some of today’s most expensive chains such as Chick-fil-A (25%); Starbucks (22%), Chipotle (21%) and McDonald’s (16%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
