Chick-fil-A is now offering healthier alternatives to the traditional, fast food, kid’s meal.
The new offerings include: grilled white meat chicken nuggets, 100% fruit applesauce (in a squeezable pouch), and expanded drink offerings. The new meals have 210 calories and 3 grams of fat vs. the average kid’s meal’s 540 calories and 20 grams of fat. In addition to the lower caloric and fat values, the new offerings are also gluten-free.
Chick-fil-A is also changing the kid’s drink menu. 1% white or chocolate milk, 100% apple juice, freshly squeezed lemonade or water. No soft drinks!
Childhood obesity has increased 300% over the past 30 years. Fast food, while convenient and affordable, has not been high on the “healthy” chart. Hopefully, other chains will take note of Chick-fil-A’s new menu items and follow suit.
