In 2010, researchers at the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity issued Fast Food FACTS. The report examined the nutritional quality of fast food menus, advertising on TV and the internet, and marketing practices inside restaurants. Three years after our first report – using the same methods as the original Fast Food FACTS – this report quantifies changes in the nutritional quality of fast food and how it is marketed to children and teens

The report highlights a few positive developments, such as healthier sides and beverages in most restaurants’ kids’ meals, but also shows that restaurants still have a long way to go to promote only healthier fast-food options to kids.
