  The cost of fast food may be hitting your wallet harder than you think.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a study by the Ohio State University's Center for Human Nutrition, revealing that Ohioans spend a significant portion of their income on fast food, with the average household allocating about 10% of their food budget to fast food meals. This spending pattern is influenced by factors such as convenience, affordability, and the proliferation of fast food outlets across the state. The study highlights that this trend contributes to health issues like obesity and diabetes, and suggests that interventions aimed at improving access to healthier food options and education on nutrition could help mitigate these effects. The research also notes variations in fast food spending across different demographic groups, with lower-income families spending a higher percentage of their food budget on fast food compared to higher-income families.
