Abstract

There is a lot of existing research with primary focuses on either the increasing popularity of fast food, the declining trend of family meals, or the declining trend of family “togetherness” and relationships. Nonetheless, there is a gap in research regarding the association between the three topics: fast food, family meals, and family relationships. This gap leads to the research question, “To what extent is there an association between the frequency of fast food family meals and family relationships?” This paper seeks to answer this question by distributing a structured survey to Kentucky high school students and quantifying the results to find an association.
