Just to show I’m not some crazed food police guy — all my anti-McDonalds posts notwithstanding — here’s some praise for Denny’s for changing its kids’ menu.
The company has added “Better For You” choices for kids including vanilla yogurt with strawberry topping, “High Diving Veggies” (carrots, celery and cucumber), Apple Dunkers, Jell-O ®, “Spaghetti, Set, Go!” (spaghetti with marinara sauce), and pudding.
More significant is what Denny’s eliminated from the menu: Big Dipper French-Toastix™ (French toast sticks), hot dogs and “D-Fusion™” sugar beverage packets.
Yeah, yeah, I know McDonalds has apple slices in Happy Meals, but that’s just to get the food police off its back. Do you think they would ever eliminate French fries from Happy Meals? Sure, the same time when Ronald McDonald serves lunch at a PETA meeting.
