我们调查了快餐店供应的变化如何影响300万儿童和300万孕妇的体重结果。在九年级学生中，距离学校0英里以内的快餐店导致肥胖率增加52%。在孕妇中，一个快速的-在0.5英里范围内的餐馆就餐，使体重增加超过20公斤的可能性增加1.6%，对热量摄入的影响是一个数量级。儿童的体重大于母亲，与成年人的旅行成本较小一致非快餐店和未来的快餐店与体重结果无关（JEL I12，J13，J16，L 83）
We investigate how changes in the supply of fast food restaurants affect weight outcomes of 3 million children and 3 million pregnant women Among ninth graders, a fast food restaurant within 0 I miles of a school results in a 5 2 percent increase in obesity rates Among pregnant women, a fast-food restaurant within 0 5 miles of residence results in a I 6 percent increase in the probability of gaining over 20 kilos The implied effects on caloric intake are one order of magnitude larger for children than for mothers, consistent with smaller travel cost for adults Non-fast food restaurants and future fast-food restaurants are uncorrelated with weight outcomes (JEL I12, J13, J16, L83)
