What impact does fast-food consumption have on various dietary and health characteristics? The article €œEffects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality among Children in a National Household Study€ (Pediatrics, 2004: 112€“118) reported the accompanying summary statistics on daily calorie intake for a representative sample of teens who do not typically eat fast food and a representative sample of teens who do eat fast food.

Is there convincing evidence that the mean calorie intake for teens who typically eat fast food is greater than the mean intake for those who don€™t by more than 200 calories per day?
