California expands healthier restaurant meal options for children
California has moved to expand healthier meal options for children at restaurants, a step promoted with support from the American Heart Association. The change encourages restaurants to offer more nutritious default choices, such as water or milk with kids' meals instead of sugary drinks. Health advocates welcomed the move as part of broader efforts to fight childhood obesity, while industry groups continue to watch how the rules affect businesses.
Why now: The state's new child-nutrition rules for restaurants are fresh public health news that draws attention amid ongoing concern about childhood obesity and sugary drinks.
