In the American population “almost one third of all youths now eat at fast-food restaurants on any given day” and “fast food consumption by 2 to 18 year-olds increased 5-fold from 1977 to 1995; by the latter year, fast food was consumed at 9% of eating occasions and comprised 12% of daily caloric intake” (Davis par. 1). Although these statistics are shocking, the real question is how are they having such an impact on our youth? The answer is through strategic placement of their facilities and shady marketing.
Children are the future of our country and as of now, they are falling into deeper and deeper danger every year as the Obesity count in adolescents rises.
