A survey of 1,600 young adults revealed that boys eat more fast food as they go through their teen years, but girls seem to level off in their early teens.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota kept track of the teens for five years. At the beginning of the study, about 20% of both the boys and girls ate fast food three times a week. Five years later, the percentage of males had increased to 33%.
