New studies have found that the fries, chicken fingers, burgers and pizzas on the kids’ menus are loaded with calories, salt and bad fats. Most parents visit these restaurants for their kid-friendly atmosphere, free crayons and fun activity placemats and would feel very unsettled if they knew their children were eating meals with adult numbers of calories. Rather than giving the kids an option for healthy meals, their menu choices are limited to super-sized portions of burgers, fries and fried chicken fingers.
