Study: Fast-food Location No Impact on Child Obesity
March 6/Los Angeles/Southern California Public Radio -- Are children more likely to get fat if they live near fast food restaurants? A new study says not necessarily.
The RAND Corporation interviewed 13,000 California children, comparing each child’s diet and weight to the kinds of food available in the neighborhood. The study found no link between what the youngsters ate and how close they lived to fast food restaurants or supermarkets.
