That’s
right! Men’s Health recently compiled some obesity statistics from the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention. They counted the number of fast food
restaurants per capita and used calculations from Experian Simmons to determine
the percentage of fast food ingested frequently, followed by how many people
ate fast food more than seven times per month or more.
We came in 100th,
the best place on the chart, indicating that we’re simply not fans of fast
food.

If we’re going
to eat fast food, we’re going to eat OUR fast food, thank you.
