It is a start, but it is not enough. Reducing the sodium by 25% is like a drop in the bucket. Disney, just like the Federal Government will not do anything that would hurt their deep pockets. Why don't they take away the soft drinks from their theme parks? Why don't they replace their nutritionally void meals with real food? Put your food where your mouth is! Replace the foods with vegetables, fruits, and salads and eliminate the garbage.

Which is funny since the Disney Children's Chewable Vitamins contain Corn Syrup. Why do vitamins have corn syrup in them? I may as well give my kid some Starbursts and call it a day!

Maybe Disney could just broadcast go out and play if they are so worried about kids health...hmmmm

I'm so happy to see what I proposed at a Harvard's think tank in public health in 2009 finally get implemented...
Ways to go... the media... now you're joining in the campaign to make American healthy again...
It's great to see you are becoming a part of the solution... educating the public for healthier habits.
I can't wait to see the day when the CEO's of Coca Cola, Mc Donald, and in the media and food industries asking themselves the question: Is this good for our kids?
When that happened, the health care crisis would have solved itself... we would be building much healthier generations.

Are they eliminating it from their parks, too? Taking the MM image off all candy,etc., If so, then BRAVO. If not then they definitely have an ulterior motive.
