Study shows a link between obesity and what’s on local restaurant menus

Study shows a link between obesity and what’s on local restaurant menus

An MIT-led study of three major global cities examines millions of restaurant menu items and concludes that having fewer and less nutritional eating options nearby correlates with obesity and other health outcomes.

My follow up questions:
1. Do unhealthy food options lead to obesity, or do lifestyles drive demand for food options (or some mix of the two)?
2. Regarding the income relationship: does income drive lifestyle or are unhealthy foods cheaper to offer?

I personally believe the first option in both of these questions, though I'd love to see some formal research on it.

I live in Chicago and this city feels so full of energy in the summer. There are constant festivals, events, people are hosting cookouts, everyone's outside. It feels like a constant party. You pay for it in the winter though.

I lived most of my life in South Carolina. Last year, I made the mistake of visiting SC in the summer. I had to say no to so many plans in Chicago and leave beautiful weather to visit the hottest, muggiest, no-wind-est place on earth. In Columbia, SC the pride festival is held in October because if it was held in June, people would just die. I told my friends and family that they visit me during the summer and I'll be around for the holidays.
