Disney Bans Junk Food at Parks

October 17, 2006 By Delia

disney-bans-junk-food-10-17-2006.jpgThe fun-for-all Disney company announced today that they will no longer be serving junk foods in their parks, worldwide.

This new ban comes as the topic of childhood obesity is heating up, with help from people like celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.  What’s off the menu?  Well, hold your breath, it looks like burgers & chips are being cut.  Film & cartoon characters owned by Disney will no longer be promoting salty snack & sugary drinks.

So go ahead & say your goodbyes to your favorites such as The Incredibles Pop Tarts and Winnie The Pooh biscuits.  Disney, in a huge blow to the the fast food market, has ended its 10-year $1 billion deal with McDonald’s to advertise on happy meals.

Well, it looks like folks are finally starting to listen & we’re very proud of Disney for making this move.

What do you think?
