Disney won't license its characters to sugary food-products

Post by froggyboy604 »

Disney won't license its characters to sugary food-products or those that contain trans-fats. They've also pledged to clean up the food in the parks -- and about time, too. Last time I was there, the only milk option for coffee was high-fructose corn-syrup-based CoffeeMate -- if you wanted real milk, you had to buy an entire pint (and they didn't have anything except full fat milk).

In a statement, Disney said it has outlined new guidelines for the foods it will allow to carry one of its licenses.

For instance, added sugar in those foods will not exceed 10 percent of calories for main and side dishes and 25 percent of calories for snacks. Total fat will not exceed 30 percent of calories for main and side dishes and 35 percent for snacks.

Disney has also pledged to eliminate artery-clogging trans fats from both the food served at its theme parks and in its licensed and promotional products.
