FAST-FOOD RESTAURANTS NEAR EDUCATION UNITS - CHILDREN'S OBESOGENEOUS ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Nutritional education of adolescents is an essential pillar for learning balanced eating habits, it is difficult to manage this, due to the difficult period, in which most often this population group adheres to behaviors in contrast to those presented and supported by the family. The main changes observed in the diet are influenced by the unlimited access to foods rich in calories and poor in nutrients and by the desire to be accepted by the group of friends, thus increasing the consumption of carbonated drinks, not respecting the main meals and consuming junk food.
