Ep.29 The Fast Food Crisis among our Children

Looking to understand more the reality behind your child's fast food habits and its impact on their health? I dive into a research study by Dr. Bowman, assessing the effects of fast food consumption on the energy intake and diet quality among thousands of children. We'll explore how this fast food frenzy has taken a toll on our children's health, increasing not only their caloric intake but also sabotaging their diet quality by diminishing their consumption of healthier food options.
The accessibility of fast food in our communities, including schools and after-school activities is so alarming. Teenagers are consuming more fast food options than younger children, and it's vital we understand why to promote better habits.
You'll gain perspective on how these unhealthy meals skyrocket daily caloric intake and how it affects the overall eating habits.
