New York Kids Living Near Fast-Food Restaurants Have Higher Obesity Rates

The closer a child in New York City lives to a fast-food restaurant, the more likely the child is to be overweight or obese, according to a new analysis by researchers at New York University School of Medicine.

It is the small distances—a half block or a block from a fast-food outlet—that matter the most, said Brian Elbel, of the Department of Population Health, NYU School of Medicine and Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.

This article is ridiculous.

I think, the more time a child spends at a fast-food outlet, the more likely the child is to be unhealthy, according to everyone.

I wish they'd put a DelTaco closer to my house.

To avoid obesity from eating junk food is to add an laxative ingredient to the meal.

No shiet shirlock

we now need a new analysis of parental IQ.

Do these children have parents?

Alright, time to ban kids...

Genius.

Long live beef and pork!

Yep, better to starve the bastards

Then give the people more healthy fast food. Japan has this...America doesn’t

Wow. Who would have thought.

Living close to a fast food outlet is not the problem. The problem is eating too much of the fast food. There, that was easy.

No way

Has anyone done a study on child hunger statistics using the same analysis?

Not surprising fastfood obesity

Since when this is new

Ohh here comes the Democratic bill mandating minimum safe spaces between Arby’s & residential homes.

If they were further away they'd walk off the calories

News flash, fast food restaurants tend to be located in areas with lower SES. SES correlates strongly with obesity. You might as well change your headline 'the closer a child lives to a pay day loan outlet the more likely they are to be obese'

It’s obvious that we need “Fast Food Restaurant setbacks” from homes and schools. Come on liberals let’s get on that 😂

🤷🏻‍♀️

What, exactly, did they put under that egg patty ?

Lot of fatties in these replies saying this is happenstance.

I see new 'protection zones' in the working

Worthless analysis.

No shit sherlock.

No kidding. That’s why the term *parental supervision* is part of the deal of having children. Assume personal responsibility

Can I get paid for this type of analysis? See my latest study: 'Hurricanes are likely to affect those who live close to the ocean.'

I’m confused. Do these restaurants force feed these kids? Or is it a conscious choice to eat a meal

Oh please.

Teach children the basics of cooking from a young age. I knew how to make breakfast at 8 years old.

Maybe Fast Food, Inc. goes where behaviors reward it the most?

Lol not really rocket science there, huh?

Force them to reduce the fat and the calories.

It took ink to work that out.😂😂😂

Causation, meet correlation.

And in similarly astounding, but true, news, rain is wet!!! Who'da thunk?!?!? /s

So more libtard taxes forthcoming?
