Survey Finds Most Americans Regret Their Lunch
A Subway-commissioned survey found that 66% of U.S. adults say they at least sometimes regret what they ate for lunch. The most common reasons people gave for lunch regret were:
- 35% said they ate unhealthy food
- 34% said their meal didn’t fill them up
- 28% said it wasn’t worth the price
The survey also found that 70% of U.S. consumers skip lunch at least once a week.
