Teen Food Trends• 25% of the vegetable calories
teens eat come from French fries.• Only 20% of female teens
and 50% of male teens get enough daily calcium.
• The average teen spends 20 hours watching TV each week.• While watching TV, the metabolic rate seems to be
lower than during rest. So a person burns fewer calories watching TV than sitting doing nothing.
