据外媒报道,3月10日美国快餐连锁店汉堡王(Burger King)表示,将把含糖碳酸饮料从儿童餐中移除,以保护儿童健康。
汉堡王方面表示,儿童餐碳酸饮料将被换成苹果汁、脱脂牛奶或是低脂巧克力牛奶。
儿童健康组织“公共利益科学中心”(Center for Science in the Public Interest)支持汉堡王的作法。麦当劳以前也曾采取类似作法。
部分原文报道如下:
Burger King is saying bye-bye to sugary sodas in kids' meals, a quiet change that follows similar moves by McDonald's and Wendy's earlier this year.
USA Today first reported the unannounced menu switch, which will involve replacing fountain drinks with fat-free milk, low-fat chocolate milk and apple juice in Burger King Kids Meals. Soft drinks will still be offered, but they'll be nixed from the Kids Meal menu.
The fast-food behemoths have reportedly stopped marketing sodas to kids due to pressure from consumer advocacy groups working to end childhood obesity. McDonald's, for instance, has partnered with The Alliance for a Healthy Generation, founded by the Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association, NPR reports.
