Sustainable, Healthy Food Comes to National Parks

Monday, 10 June 2013 | by Pat's Picks

No longer do you have to settle for beautiful scenery or good food. The Anchorage Daily News says the National Parks Service is stepping up their food service, issuing orders last week that all concession areas must offer healthy food to guests. That means menus that include “fruits and vegetables, low-sodium and low-fat meals, reduced portion sizes, and non-sugary drinks.” The NPS is also encouraging the use of local and sustainable foods. But have no fear, the agency went out of its way to mention that hot dogs, pizza and ice cream will still be available.
