Check out this article we found at the Orlando Sentinel:
Childhood obesity prevention is extremely important! Research is predicting that if things are not one to reduce the harmful effects of this epidemic the generation will be the first to not out live their parents. With that in mid, we applaud restaurants that are making positive strides toward undoing the damage.
Here is a blurb from the article.
Olive Garden has ditched french fries and milkshakes on its kids' menus, replacing them with grapes and fruit smoothies.
Olive Garden, owned by Orlando-based Darden Restaurants, made the changes in its menu this week. The french fries had previously been an option with chicken fingers. Now the chicken fingers are just offered with spaghetti. Also, milk now has 1 percent milk fat. It used to have 2 percent. The changes come as many restaurants are trying to offer healthier options for diners, especially younger ones.
