Are too many ‘Happy Meals’ the reason that more kids today are overweight?
The rise in families substituting a trip to McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, etc. for a family meal at home is likely one of the causes for the increase in overweight kids, but it is not the only cause. Other factors are also to blame, including an increased time watching TV and playing video games, decreased time in physical activity and unhealthy food choices.
An unhealthy food choices don’t end at home, where kids may eat too many high fat and high calorie foods and snacks and sugary drinks.
The choices you make when eating fast food can also determine how healthy or ‘unhealthy’ it is.
