Yes, yes, we all know that Americans eat a lot of fast food, but do you know exactly how much is a lot?
A new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the eye-popping number:
- More than 1 in 3 US adults eat fast food on any given day. That's 85 million people.
- Young adults eat more fast food. On any given day, almost 45% of adults aged 20 to 39 ate fast food, as compared to 38% of adults aged 40 to 59 and 24% of those aged 60 or older.
Imagine that: almost HALF of adults aged 20 to 39 eat fast food on any given day.
- Higher family income means more consumption of fast food.
Now - you probably associate eating fast food with low income, but the truth is: the more you earn, the likelier you are to eat fast food.
