A new survey set to be released to coincide with the advocacy group Corporate Accountability International's "Value the Meal" campaign found that 57 percent of Americans believe the fast food industry is "responsible for the increase in diet-related diseases and health conditions" in the U.S. The survey was conducted by Lake Research in Chicago.
The advocacy group has produced an online mapping tool that shows the proximity of fast food restaurants to schools in San Francisco, Boston and Chicago. Check it out here.
The group wants to push for zoning changes to eliminate the proliferation of burger joints around schools.
