How can food away from home be the same as food at home around 2019? covid?
It's percentage of income, not total price.
Therefore I assume that people reacted to rising prices by buying less, buying cheaper versions etc. This way they might spend more Dollars for less food without changing the "percentage of income".
The "percentage of income" also doesn't change when other the other things people spend their income on rise the same amount or more.
