An interesting trend - in poorer neighborhoods there are more places for fast food and people are fatter.
Fast food is a major culprit for the obesity of mankind. However, it turns out that poorer people are deliberately faced with the danger of gaining weight.
British scientists have found an interesting trend. It turns out that in poorer neighborhoods there are more places for fast food. Researchers at the University of the West of England tend to believe that children who are near restaurants of this risk type are more likely to be overweight than those whose homes are further away.
The researchers tracked the weight of more than 1,500 children in public primary schools aged 4 to 11. The data show that children who live near fast food chains are at a much higher risk of gaining excess weight between the first and last year of primary school.
This is the first study of its kind to show the link between access to food chains and weight gain. Its findings raise questions about the role of food distribution and availability, as well as its impact on the diet of young children.
The cause of obesity are many complex factors. The environment of the residential area is fundamental for the development or reduction of this disease. When parents cannot afford fine restaurants and quality food, and fast food is under their noses, the decision to feed their children with these harmful foods is made much easier.
The scientists precisely calculated the availability of fast food for each of the children in the project. They checked how many such places there were within half a mile of his home. The result is that there are more fast food outlets in poorer neighborhoods.
There are currently 56,638 fast food restaurants in the UK. They are located mainly in poorer neighborhoods and areas. That's over a quarter of all eating places in the country, which is really disturbing.

A Fast Food Chain Is Lying That It Makes Cheese Sandwiches
A chain of fast food restaurants is threatened with a hefty fine because it deceives its customers that it puts yellow cheese in the sandwiches it offers, the Consumer Protection Commission announced.

Home Chain Delivered Food By Drone
A native chain of fast food restaurants conducted an unusual experiment a few days ago in the capital. An attempt was made to deliver food with a flying drone, writes economic.bg. The drone, thanks to which the experiment was conducted, is a six-rotor with a width of 80 cm and can carry up to 8 kg shipments.
Frozen Food Is More Useful Than Fast Food
When we do not have fresh products on hand and we do not want to go to the market, we usually have two options - either to order food from fast food chains or to use the food frozen in our freezer, which will take time. Surely at the thought of both options you immediately chose to eat fast food.
Slow Food - The Enemy Of Fast Food
Slow Food (literal translation slow food) is a movement founded in 1986 by Carlo Petrini. The movement was created with the idea to preserve local gastronomic traditions. It is organized in conviviums - local communities of producers and supporters, whose goal is not only economic benefit, but also to preserve unique products in a particular geographical area.
