The way Americans have been packing in the calories, you’d think they enjoy eating as never before. Oddly enough, finds a survey by the Pew Research Center, they don’t. Asked how much they enjoy eating, 39 percent of adults responded “a great deal.” That’s down from the 48 percent who said the same in a 1989 Gallup poll.

In the current survey, men were slightly more likely than women (41 percent vs. 38 percent) to say they enjoy eating a great deal.
