Boise gets an “F”
When it comes to fast food joints per capita that is — in fact Boise was the 12th worst out of the 100 cities that Men’s Health reviewed for list on “Urban Waistlines”. Men’s Health reviewed the number of Burger King’s, McDonald’s, Taco Bell’s and Wendy’s per capita. They also used data on where people consume fast-food seven or more times a month and used data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to form their list.
Arlington, Texas came in at the bottom of the list and Buffalo, New York came out on top.
Story here via KSDK out of St. Louis (the list isn’t available on the Men’s Health website) — check out how Men’s Health came to their conclustions here.
To be fair, I’m sure you could just as easily include the rest of the Treasure Valley along with Boise. Residents here aren’t ashamed of their adoration for fast food grub and chain restaurants.
How often to you eat fast food? What about chain fast food vs. the local fast food options?
