Fast Food Chains Prominent In Areas By Schools, Analysis Finds

The article from Plant Based News discusses how fast food chains are increasingly targeting schools as a new market to boost their sales, particularly in the U.S. where school food programs are underfunded.

The article highlights the ethical concerns of such marketing strategies, noting that schools should be environments promoting health and education rather than commercial interests. It also mentions efforts by some schools and advocacy groups to push back against these corporate influences by advocating for healthier, plant-based meal options in school cafeterias.
