August 6/New York/The Huffington Post -- America is in the throes of a health food revolution if articles on kale and quinoa are any indication, but that does not mean fast food has loosened its grip on the American appetite. A recent Gallup poll reveals that eight out of 10 Americans eat at fast-food restaurants at least once a month. The stat has improved only slightly since 2006, the last time Gallup asked the question.
The survey also found that young adults, aged 18-29, eat fast food more often. Additionally, men are more likely to eat it than women, and across racial and ethnic groups, blacks and Hispanics tend to eat it most often.
