"Coffee" was the most tweeted food in the continental US between mid-2014 to mid-2015 followed by "beer" and "pizza", researchers said. Communities that expressed positive sentiments about healthy foods were more likely to be healthier overall, they said. They then sorted through the four million tweets about food for ones that fell on opposite ends of the health spectrum: tweets mentioning fast food restaurants, or lean meats, fruits, veggies or nuts. Out of that top 10 list, only the fourth most popular food-related item, "Starbucks", fit into the fast food category. Also, people in areas dense with fast food restaurants tweeted more often about fast food.
