At my high school just outside of Cleveland, our towns fast food strip area, with all the big ones like Taco Bell, Hardees, McDonald's ect, are less than a 5 minute walk from our school. I can actually see those big tall signs like the big M from one of my classrooms.
At lunch break, basically the whole school just goes to the fast food part, and it gets so busy because there is catholic high school just near us, and all there kids get off at the same time as us for lunch. I seriously don't even know why we have a caf in our school since it's like so empty at lunch. Our school is big so it's split into two lunch breaks, period 3 for grades 9/10 and 4 for 11/12. I know as a fact that the caf is just as empty on both breaks.
So do you think this is why kids are so over weight? Because schools are too close to the fast food joints?
