Answer 1

Food sales did not increase during the 2007–2009 recession, but sales of electronics, including in the United States, saw an increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 2007–2009 recession, food sales did not increase, contrary to what might be expected. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, real total food spending by U.S. households declined five percent between 2006 and 2009. However, there was one category that saw an increase in spending worldwide during the recession - electronics. Sales of electronics actually increased during the recession, including in the United States where there was an 18% uptick in spending.
