Nearly a third of American adults eat fast food on any given day, but new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals their overall reliance on fast food is gradually decreasing. According to the report, “Fast-Food Consumption Among Adults and Children in the United States, 2021–2023,” just over 30% of U.S. adults aged 20 and above indulge in fast food daily, with 1 in 5 Americans getting at least a quarter of their daily calories from these meals. The data, which comes from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from August 2021 to August 2023, also points to shifting patterns among youth, suggesting evolving attitudes towards convenience food in American society (Deseret News).
