SUGARY DRINKS
CONTRIBUTE TO
INCREASING RATES
OF HEART DISEASE
AND TYPE 2 DIABETES
IN CHILDREN, TEENS
AND ADULTS.
Restaurants can help
reverse this trend by
making healthy drinks
like milk and water the
default drink option on
children’s menus.
#servekidsbetternyc

With families eating out more often, it’s time
for restaurants to serve kids better.
