For years, children have been among the main targets of advertising in some of the biggest fast food chains in America, and they will often serve meals specifically for them, even adding toys into the menus to make them more attractive, and the latest fast food kids numbers are fairly worrying.

A recent study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics researched fast food on kids' daily intake and found that, in all, about one third of the country's children and teenagers will eat fast food items on any given day.

According to Time Magazine, the fast food kids study looked a data from the 2011-2012 period from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), seeing that, in total, around 34 percent of children and adolescents from 2 to 19 were consuming fast food every day.

In all, the study found that the daily caloric intake of 12 percent of children in the country came from fast food kids' eating.

For its study, the CDC surveyed 3,100 kids from ages 2 to 19 what they'd eaten in the previous 24 hours - later, drive-thru French fries as well as takeout pizza have been named partially responsible for the results.

CBS News reports that these fast food kids' numbers don't vary greatly from previous studies, as apparently one-quarter of children and adolescents in the country have been eating fast food daily since the 1990s, so while these numbers are worrying, at least they're not increasing.

However, there's little doubt that this is connected to a similar health concern, as child obesity in the country has remained at about 17 percent in the past decade.

According to Bloomberg, while children in lower-income families are far more likely to be obese than those on the other end of the spectrum, the CDC study shows that children in wealthier households take about the same percentage of their calories from fast food on kids.
