　　Passage Three

　　Karen and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Cookbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and a container of ready-to-serve potatoes "My Job," says Karen "is to poor the salad from the bag."

　　A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approaching its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the final, and arguably most profitable, step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Increasingly, tables in America"s kitchens are used not for cutting or peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to Harry Blazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that came from a takeout counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, "We thought the microwave would be a cooking device," says Harry Blazer, "but we find it reheating takeout pizza."

　　Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. supermarket takeout counters, formerly a place where unsold chickens were courted with sauce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations.

　　One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Americans have finally gotten the message that it"s bad to eat fried chicken, so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.

　　Of course, thee are people you wouldn"t expect to cook at home, like Steve Traxler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more than orange juice, wine and leftovers.

　　Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right? "people don"t have time to cook; I think they"re reading them in bed," says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookbook.

　　It"s not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by the popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlikely to try to make at home. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner.
