Fast-food in Tarrant: A matter of economics

Low-income areas of Tarrant County are more likely to have an abundance of fast-food restaurants and convenience stores rather than full-service restaurants and grocery stores that are part of a large chain.

Critics say this limits the ability of low-income people to get healthy food.
