Some restaurants offer baby-friendly meals to satisfy parents and take into account the age of their customers, but an American study has found that what is being offered to young people in famous boutiques is harmless.
A study by researchers at the University of Connecticut revealed that 91 percent of parents buy their children at least one meal a week from fast-food chains such as McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King and Savoy.
The four restaurants say they offer children's meals to ensure healthy meals for young people, but what happens is that parents buy not only these products, but also demand fried potatoes and soft drinks.
McDonald's has announced the removal of the cheeseburger sandwich from the US's Happy Meal, and has announced the reduction of fried potatoes in the Meaty Mill meals as part of global efforts to reduce calories and combat ghee and disease.
Health experts say that children's meals often play a "misleading" role because parents think they have provided a healthy diet for their children. But the reality is that they have only minimized the damage because the child needs a balanced diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Health "regardless of size".
According to American researcher Jennifer Harris, parents and children find it difficult to choose healthy meals in restaurants, given the power of the propaganda machine that encourages the consumption of fries and soft drinks.
Child obesity in the United States is a major health concern. Figures show that 40 percent of those between the ages of 16 and 19 are obese, and if urgent action is not taken, the problem will worsen in the future.
