      abstract = {Using state-level data from the Behavioral Risk Factor  Surveillance System, we investigate
the effects of  household food-away-from-home and food-at-home expenditures  on
overweight rates, obesity rates, and combined rates. Our  random effects model estimates
suggest that  food-away-from-home expenditures are positively related to  obesity and
combined rates, while food-at-home expenditures  are negatively related to obesity and
combined rates.  However, the magnitudes of these effects, while  statistically significant, are
relatively small. Both  food-at-home and food-away-from-home expenditures do  not
significantly influence overweight rates.},
