The CDC says we're eating less fast food than we used to, but not much less. The study showed that American adults  get about eleven-percent of their daily calories from fast food, down from nearly 13-percent in 2006.

The report found that African American adults eat more fast food than whites and Hispanics.
And, younger adults tend to eat more fast food than seniors. Obese adults in each age group ate more of their calories from fast food.
