Hmm, though of course cooking at home is far cheaper than any sort of "fast food" for the family. But did anyone else note this disconnect. The source from Duke who was quoted said:

"There is a concern that parents will substitute fast food, high carbohydrate and high sugar-content food, for healthy food"

Yet the article goes on to say:
"The obesity rate had tripled between 1980-1999, creating an epidemic blamed on a poor diet heavy on fat and sugar "

Note that Kenneth Land, the source from Duke, said nothing about fat himself, he blamed *carbs and sugar*. It was whoever wrote the article that apparently just blindly laid the blame on fat.
