Over one-third of American children eat fast food every day, CDC data show - Miami Herald
A large number of health issues in the U.S., including cancer, heart disease and obesity, are linked to unhealthy lifestyles and behaviors, according to the National Institute of Health.
Some of those behaviors include eating fast or processed foods, which may kill more people prematurely than smoking cigarettes, NIH said.
Between 2015 and 2018, over a third of American kids and teens ate fast food on a given day, a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. About 36% of children and adolescents between ages 2 and 19 ate fast food every day, according to the CDC.
