Okay, okay. So maybe Red Lobster and Olive Garden aren't exactly fine dining. But their brand of moderately-priced full-service restaurant makes Darden worthy of five stars. Darden restaurants operates over 1,300 restaurants throughout North America. Never-ending pasta bowl, anyone?
Darden Restaurants (DRI), the world's largest full-service restaurant company behind popular chain eateries, including Olive Garden, Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse and Bahama Breeze, announced to reduce the calorie count and salt content of its food and provide more nutritious options on its children???s menus. Along with representatives from Partnership for a Healthier America, First Lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to appear and express her support for the menu revamp as part of her "Let???s Move!" campaign to offer healthier options for restaurant diners and reduce childhood obesity. The specific changes include promises to reduce sodium in its offerings by ten percent over the next five years and 20 percent over the next ten years, establishing specific nutrition standards to guide the development of its children???s meals by offering more choices, and making fruits or vegetables the default side dish option. What do you think of this?
