Healthier Food Options For Kids
A new initiative by the National Restaurant Association makes it easier for parents to find healthier food options for their kids at chain restaurants. Louisiana Restaurant Association spokesperson Wendy Waren says, for example, fast food chains here are already offering apple fries instead of french fries. Waren says restaurants are also changing the way kids menu items are highlighted. Waren says in addition to pushing toward healthier options at
restaurants, part of their effort will also include educating people on ways to change the way they order food.
