A 30-year study of Massachusetts adults found that those "who live close to fast food restaurants may not weigh any more than the rest of us," contradicting the results of earlier, more limited studies on the relationship between obesity and proximity to fast-food restaurants.
A new UC Davis study found that "fast food alone cannot be blamed for high obesity rates among people with low incomes ... The research calls into question stereotypes that have led some cities in Southern California to cite obesity when passing laws limiting or banning new fast-food restaurants in poorer communities." (This study also found that guys are more likely to eat out than women. Duh!)
