Disney’s Healthy Decision [Fool.com: Commentary] October 17, 2006

Disney may have fallen off the wagon, but now it’s ready to get back on the scale. Sending a powerful message that it won’t condone the epidemic of childhood obesity under its watch, Disney has announced strict dietary guidelines for licensed food products and promotions that bear the Disney name.

 

Effective immediately in the U.S., with a more gradual implementation overseas, new deals for Disney licensed foodstuffs will have to adhere to capped levels of calories, fat, and sugar. Disney will still allow seasonal candy and birthday cakes to top its new dietary guidelines, but it plans to scale back on those licenses.
