Walt Disney Co. said Monday that it would start lending its characters' names mainly to healthful foods, cheering activists who have faulted the entertainment industry for contributing to childhood obesity...In its parks, it will replace French fries and soda in kids' meals with vegetables and juice...The announcement follows scientific panels' reports that blasted the use of cartoon characters to sell food with low nutritional value to children. "This is wonderful," said Ellen Wartella, the provost of UC Riverside..."The concern about obesity and childhood is a national concern, and it's putting all our children at risk. Disney should be lauded." [also refers to McDonald's, Kraft Foods (part of Altria), ABC (part of Walt Disney), Toon Disney channel (part of Walt Disney)]
