It's well-known that fast food isn't exactly the best thing for your body.
But a new study says it may hurt kids' performance in school, according to The Washington Post.
A study at Ohio State University found that those who at fast food every day saw test scores improve 20 percent less than those who didn't over three years. The test started when children were 10 years old, and compared test scores in reading, math and science.
Even when researchers took other variables into account, the fast food seemed to have a significant effect.
