The Seattle Times: Health: Eating out linked to health risks in children

Now this is not surprising in the least!

The Seattle Times: Health: Eating out linked to health risks in children: "Children who often eat in restaurants are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, according to a novel study presented here.

The study is believed to be the first to link eating out and heart-disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, and diabetes risk factors, such as poor insulin sensitivity. It also adds to earlier research showing that children who eat out frequently are more likely to be overweight."
