Seven out of 10 children from black ethnic backgrounds and more than half of those from Asian backgrounds said they bought fast foods more than twice a week. The researchers conducting the survey claimed this was concerning, because people from those ethnic backgrounds were more prone to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The most commonly cited reason for buying fast food was taste, with 92% of children saying they liked the taste of the products sold in fast food outlets.
