Americans spend more on food because they eat out more.
You have to be careful with that conclusion. The data shows Americans spent more, but fast food prices increased, so we don't know if they ate more from seeing that they spent more.
But hard for me see to see food prices rising in 2021/2022 to cause weight loss in 2023.
Weight loss itself takes time and is only going to be recorded at some sort of medical check-up. If you start eating out less in 2021-2022, it's perfectly reasonable that it would take until 2023 for a doctor to record that you are no longer obese.
