Description
This study explores the impact of fast food consumption and limited access to healthy food on obesity rates in underprivileged communities. Using NHANES data and a survey of Arizona residents, we examine how economic status, food accessibility, and nutrition perceptions influence dietary choices. We hypothesize that limited access to healthy food contributes to higher obesity rates, aiming to inform policy and interventions to improve nutrition in underserved areas.
