Fast food consumption has contributed to rising obesity rates in children. 30% of children ages 6-11 are overweight, and 15.3% are obese. If current trends continue, 1 in 3 U.S. adults will have diabetes by 2050. Fast food is high in calories, fat, sugar, and salt. It lacks essential nutrients. Regular fast food eating can lead to health issues like diabetes and heart disease beginning in childhood. Promoting healthy eating habits from a young age can help combat obesity and related diseases.
