Soda Still on the Menu: Progress, but More to Do to Get Soda off Restaurant Children's Menus
Executive Summary
Americans are eating out more frequently than in the past. Half of all food expenditures are now for restaurant and other awayfrom-home food.1 Eating out has nutrition and health consequences for adults, but children are especially vulnerable. When children eat out, they typically consume more calories, added sugars, and sugary drinks and fewer fruits, vegetables, and whole grains than when they eat at home.2 Children get a quarter of their calories, on average, from restaurant food and beverages.3
The Center for Science in the Public Interest previously analyzed the nutritional quality of children's meals at the top 50 restaurant chains in 2008,4 2012,5 and 2016.6 In this report, we examine how the children's menu beverage offerings at the top 50 restaurant chains have changed over the last decade.
The availability of sugary beverages like soda, lemonade, sweetened fruit-flavored drinks, and other beverages with added sugars on children's menus at the top 50 chains decreased from 93 percent in 2008, to 83 percent in 2012, to 74 percent in 2016,7 to 61 percent in 2019.
