Why are Kid's Menu's in restaurants always the same?

[stef1301]

Hello mums, I am on a mission!! I've started a petition to get restaurants & cafes to have healthier options available on kids menu's. Kids menus haven't changed since I was a child, a good 20 years ago. I think they need to put a little more effort into creating healthy balanced meals, even if it's secretly blitzing veggies into a pasta sauce. I spent many months breastfeeding and BLW, trying to give Fred the best possible start and then get offered chicken nuggets, chips and beans in restaurants. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this?

I can't think of anywhere that doesn't offer healthy drinks (milk, water, 100% juice, or smoothie), fruit and/or a few different vegetables

Macdonalds are good now
So is Wetherspoons as a PP said.

Honestly can't think of anywhere I've taken the DCs that there aren't healthy options.

They choose the shit anyway but hey ho

The nutritional value of EVERY meal is important. That's why we are in an obesity epidemic, because people do not understand how important it is

No its not, 80/20 rule as previously mentioned. It's not the people who are mostly eating well who are obese but those who are eating too much and mostly of the wrong things. Too many snacks, sugary drinks, too much overall, very little fruit and veg.

But if someone mostly eats well and eats the right amount, but has chips or whatever a couple of times a week, that's not going to make them obese.
