DENVER — Denver City Council is considering a proposal that would remove sugary drinks from children's menus at restaurants. If approved, it would eliminate options like soda, juice, and lemonade as a part of “combo meals” for kids and only allow two choices: milk or water.
Lucky Pie in Louisville is a family-friendly spot serving up pizza and brews. The restaurant's smallest guests get their own menu. But there’s one option you won’t find. Now, Denver City Council is considering a similar proposal that would mandate that restaurants list just milk or water as drink options for their children’s meals. Soda and juice would still be available for parents to purchase though.“Families were really happy because a lot of them said we try to keep our kids healthy, but when you see them on the menu it’s very hard.
“It’s important we focus on the fact that soda and juice are still available for purchase, but I think it’s a way to highlight healthier choices for our kids,” said Haley Knuepfer, a Denver area mom of two young boys.
