08/21/06 Food Preferences for Men and Women

Now I am not a marriage counselor but I if I were I would suggest that couples might resolve their difference by going out for a burger. We know of course that men are from Mars and women, Venus yet both apparently inhabit the same planet when it comes to meal selections. Knowing that women are often the deciding factor in where families will eat out, fast food restaurants have attempted to woo us with smaller portions, chicken and specialty salads or baked potatoes. Yet new market research debunks the myth of "female friendly" selections, because the women polled reportedly ordered burgers, fries and pizza as frequently as their male counterparts. The only glaring disparity in the survey was the fact that men typically ate out more often than women. The average American male eats out 20 times a month compared to 16 for his female counterpart.. When it comes to the differences between men and women the only common ground might just be ground beef patty !
