Facts About Surveys On Fast Food Restaurants
Do you remember the documentary about fast food restaurants like McDonalds that are placed in low-income neighborhoods cause huge jump in obesity? The residents in those areas tend to gain quite a bit of weight.
People with little money don’t really have much of a choice when it comes to eating out options. A cheap fat-filled hamburger looks like a great deal and they can get a few of them but they are full of empty calories and a terrible health risk.
There has been much more than just one documentary done on this situation. There has been quite a bit of involvement. New York’s Area Council got involved and produced new labeling laws to increase awareness on this problem.
Unfortunately according to a survey done only a couple of months ago, there has been no real effect on improvement. The survey showed that the poor people of New York are still in the same situation as before with their diets.
According to companies like McDonalds and KFC the lack of improvement is wrong. They report that men and women have improved on their choice in ordering healthier foods. How can these reports be so different? It just doesn’t make any sense. One has to be right and one wrong.
One thing that could be setting the figures off is the fact that chains like Subway have much healthier low cost foods and the chains with the unhealthy foods like McDonald and KFC are using the healthy reports in their equation. This will definitely throw the numbers off for an accurate report.
What the metropolis is doing is using the reports from wealthier neighborhoods where better food is more readily available and group those reports with those from the poorer neighborhoods that don’t offer the healthier food.
In the end the City’s report doesn’t hold any water at all. It’s worthless. The reality is that poor people are still making bad food choices.
