This headline is a touch misleading as it gives the impression of being across all US households, the quote is:

>Within six months of starting a GLP-1 medication, households reduce grocery spending by an average of 5.3%. Among higher-income households, the drop is even steeper, at more than 8%. Spending at fast-food restaurants, coffee shops and other limited-service eateries falls by about 8%.

That's not "a touch" misleading. It's very misleading.

Unless the title was changed, it says "average" which to me pretty clearly means it's measuring individual or household consumption

The question is what average; some people apparently view "in the US" as implying US population-level averages (which it does not explicitly imply), whereas authors report the average within adopting households, which for this study's data source, all happen to be in the US
