Discuss how the availability of fast food presents nutritional risk for children
What will be an ideal response?
Children tend to get more empty calories when eating fast food, and they get an overabundance of fat, sugar, and salt. Fast food is available in malls, on main streets, in bowling alleys, at theme parks, on airplanes, and on cruise ships. Fast food is even available at some schools, where the fast food chains and soft-drink manufacturers "sponsor" the school in return for marketing their products on campus. Eating right at school can be problematic and often it is food items that are similar to fast foods that contribute to the problem with high fat and sodium content. One in every five public schools serves branded-name fast foods, although there is a trend to stop these practices in schools.
