Re: fast food & obesity ..

You might try measuring:

Blood pressure changes
Pulse rate
waist measurement
belly measurement
BMI (body mass index)
Percent body fat
You could have them fill out a mood scale to see if the food they eat impacts their mood in anyway.
You could study how many times they deficate
You could do all manner of things...

The study can only be exciting if you make it so!

Re: fast food & obesity ..

There is no research here - eating poorly causes poor health, it has nothing to do with whether or not it is fast food, except that fast food tends to be less healthy. Try eating at a chain restaurant (Chili's, Olive Garden, Outback) for every meal, or even just one meal, but get an appetizer, entree, and dessert, and you'll see that people who eat unhealthily, are unhealthy.
