The culture in general

The domestic unit
The domestic unit consists of at least two people as seen by the distinction in food choices. Given the small amount of unconsumed food, it can be inferred that the members of the household eat their lunch outside the household. Additionally, it can be inferred that the household does not have ample time to prepare home-cooked meals as evidenced by products such as “Big Mac” hamburger and cans of grilled salmon and pizza. These are takeout items preferred by people who lead a relatively busy life. It can also be inferred that the members of the household are socioeconomically well. Besides the consumer products that expensive, the transaction receipts from automated teller machines in the one week indicate withdraws amounting to 625 dollars, and the balance was 1500 dollars.
