Healthier fast food: Will kids actually eat it?

Healthier fast food: Will kids actually eat it? - An article published by the WEEK on July 14, is stating opinions whether children will accept eating the healthier food that is proposed by the National Restaurant Association. The idea behind this action is a campaign called Kids Live Well, based on providing sorts of meals with less calories, more fruit, vegetables, and less sugar. The food option will be available in almost 15, 000 outlets in all country. The doubt that comes out is whether this action will prompt children to eat better or is mere business strategy.

Theoretically, John Talty thinks as a good idea, but he has a doubt in terms of its practicability. He sees this action in two angles. Offering the food as one thing and persuading the kids eating as another uneasy task. He is optimist saying that the success of the project will depend on the type of healthy food provided by the restaurants, and the degree of the responsibility of what children will eat while with their parents. 

Anita Jones-Mueller, a nutritionist, advocates the idea by saying that it will help to fight childhood obesity. She says that the program is an enormous step of promoting ways to be healthier. Conversely to the C'mon who thinks that the program is not the right answer. She argues that people should not rely on restaurants to eat healthier. She also added  by saying restaurants will offer fruits most of them canned that are unhealthier when compared with the fries.

I agree and share the same opinion with C'mon. I can also go far; by saying that all behind this program is simple strategy of business. Where the restaurants will bring fresh fruits 365 days to offer consumers?  Will this business be lucrative? I don't think so! As we know, fresh products are always too expensive because some of them are costly in terms of its production. If restaurants are able to buy those products there is no doubt that the meals will be unaffordable, and as result people will not buy or will prefer eat canned because are cheaper.  C'mon also has a good point of view. The promotion of how to eat healthier should start at home. Even though we are in busy world where people focus more on their work, I think we need to stop and rethink how much we are caring about ourselves. As C'mon said, parents should spend money buying natural food not ready-made and teaching their kids how to cook and eat healthy food. In this way, kids will grow up eating home food and depending less on restaurants, thus, they can save money for other future purposes.
