Disney to serve healthier food at parks
By GARY GENTILE, AP Business Writer Mon Oct 16, 1:53 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - The Walt Disney Co. will begin serving more nutritionally balanced meals at its domestic theme parks and will sign movie and other endorsement deals only with restaurants that limit fat and sugar in menu items, the company said Monday.
ADVERTISEMENT
Trans fats will be eliminated from meals at domestic parks by the end of next year, and will not be included in licensed and promotional products by 2008, Disney said.
Disney CEO Robert Iger said the move came in response to comments from parents about the eating habits of their children.

Hmmm... I'm not surpirsed they didn't start doing this now. After "Super Size Me" was released, it gave the public a new health cautious look. However, Disney does offer some healthy selections like the salads and veggie burgers.
Do you think have enough time to go the bathroom before the next show?

I really doubt things like that will go. They make such a good profit on the ODV ice cream mickey's, the turkey legs, monte cristos at blue bayou and more. I don't think Disney would ever do something to that extreme.

I'd hope not. That and Gibson Girl icecream are my two favorite items in the park!

I thought it would be nice not to have to seek out the vegetarian places just to find something that wouldn't make someone in the party sick.
But yes, the ice creams are excellent.
