People in the US eat at home too. Do you mean to suggest Europeans eat at home more often? I could believe there's a small difference, but although Europe might not be covered in fast food chains at the same rate as the US, I'd guess smaller eateries more than make up for that.

I, and everyone I know from my European cultural background, cook basically every day.

OTOH I have some US friends who I am not even sure know how to cook

I, and nearly everyone I know here in the US, also cooks pretty much every day.

This both enlightens and pleases me :-)

> Very US-centric though, people in most european countries eat at home.

I'm in the US, and 95% of the time, I cook my own food and eat it at home. So does nearly everyone I know.
