Teacher Comment: Some really good questions there guys, well done. How are you going to find out the average fast food intake for our community? Also please make sure that you are taking this seriously, this is not an assignment to find the largest person and then put on your page, you need to research this issue sensibly and have thought in mind that you want to make a positive impact on this issue.
