All Disney Theme Parks Will Eliminate Trans Fat
Disney has announced plans to eliminate trans fat at all theme parks, U.S. and worldwide. Read more about the announcement below, after the jump.
Walt Disney, seeking to address concerns about childhood obesity and eating habits, will phase out trans fats from food served at its theme parks in Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo over the next two years.
Trans fats will be excluded from U.S. parks by year-end as planned, Disney, the world’s largest theme-park operator, said Monday. Next month, the company will start selling healthy food products in Tesco supermarkets in Britain.
Disney, based in Burbank, California, is expanding its plan for healthier food overseas to attract consumers concerned about their children’s diets. Last year, responding to calls from nutritionists, the chief executive, Robert Iger, introduced a program to eliminate trans fat food from Disney’s U.S. parks and to add low-fat milk, carrots and other healthier options.
