Michelle McCaffrey says her two young boys, ages 1 and 3, don’t know what fast food is.
“They haven’t ever had it, and we stream shows (online instead of watching TV), so they haven’t ever seen a commercial either,” the Pennsylvania mom said.
McCaffrey’s kids may be in the minority.
Researchers at the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity have found that on average, children between the ages of 2 and 5 see more than 1,000 advertisements for fast food each year.
