Ensuring Healthy Options for Kids at Restaurants

The national movement to improve restaurant kids' meals is growing. Communities and corporations have recognized the need for healthier options on the kids' menu. However, federal action is necessary to expand this policy to cover all children and ensure implementation of this critical effort to improve children’s health. A nationally representative poll conducted in October 2024 found that about 75 percent of Americans support restaurants having at least two kids’ meals that meet nutrition standards. Further, 83 percent of respondents with children in their household under the age of 13 support restaurants having at least two kids' meals that meet nutrition standards.
