` The growth of the fast food industry has played an
important role in the increased amount of food
consumption (Schlosser, 2001).
` In the U.S., the amount of calories attributable to fast
food consumption has risen within the last 20 years
from 3% to 12% (Schlosser, 2001).
` Fast food is considerably higher in fat, thus there have
been associations made between fast food intake and
increased BMI and weight (French, Harnack & Jeffery,2000).

` There must be healthy food and drink options
available in underserved areas (Glanz and Yaroch,

implement healthy food check out aisles (Samuels, Craypo,
Boyle, Crawford, Yancy, and Flores, 2010).
