Despite restaurant pledges, most kids receive unhealthy items with fast-food kids' meals

(UConn Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity) A new UConn Rudd Center study of parents' fast-food restaurant purchases for their children finds that 74 percent of kids still receive unhealthy drinks and/or side items with their kids' meals when visiting one of the four largest restaurant chains -- McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Subway -- despite restaurants' commitments to offer healthier options with kids' meals. The study also found children are eating fast food more often.
