The Facts and Statistics

I've heard that there is a statistic to prove every statement. Whether this is true or not is beside the point, but there are certainly many facts and statistics that show how people eat too much fast food.


Seventy percent of Americans eat dinner at home on a regular basis. However, almost half of those meals are actually fast food, delivery or takeout from restaurants. Every day, one out of four Americans eats a meal at a fast food restaurant. People are eating at these places so much that in 2005 in the United States, people spent more money on fast food than education. Think of how cheap fast food is compared to how expensive some education is, and that's unbelievable.
