Abstract
Developments in the nutritional value of quick-service meals since 1990 are highlighted, including the impact of the changes in the USDA Food Pyramid, the obesity issue, trends in quick-service menu items, and ratings of quick-service meals. In a survey of Louisiana consumers, respondents in the lower socioeconomic group rated the nutritional value of the quick-service meals as less nutritious than did those in the upper-class group. No significant differences were found between nutrition knowledge groups. The authors then compared the findings to previous studies of quick-service meal ratings.
