                                According to CDC data from a 2018 report, over one-third of US adults—approximately 84.8 million people—consumed fast food on any given day between 2013 and 2016, a trend driven by convenience and busy lifestyles. While more recent statistics indicate a shift in dining habits, the prevalence of fast food remains a significant aspect of the American diet.
