Nearly 40% Of Americans Consume Fast Food Every Day; Guess Who Eats The Most?

A new study from the CDC reveals that 36.6% of American adults consume fast food every day, and that rich people eat more of it than those in the lower income brackets. Americans at 130% or less of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) consumed the least fast food, while those at 350% of FPL ate the most.

  3. Just like military recruiting, market towards the lower class and we wonder why we are in as bad "shape" compared to other nations. Remember bad shape = higher health costs and that trickles to those in good shape but paying higher premiums!!!!

    Believe it or not - we do it to ourselves!!!

  5. I think some of you missed the point of the article. 350% of FPL is income around $55k a year for a couple and around $40k for a single person. Percentage wise these are the people who are most likely to eat fast food. If you ponder it you will understand why. These are the workers of the country.
