Poll results: fries should be replaced on kids menus

April 19


The bulk of this blog's poll takers — 67 percent — think French fries should be replaced on kids' menus, and a solid plurality — 42 percent — would do the same thing with adults' menus.


That’s not to say fries should be banned, just that they shouldn’t be the default option. Why not live it up with some artichoke or mango from time to time?


Twenty-eight people voted in the poll, which really isn’t terrible, but it’s not great, either, so my next poll is a poll on what sort of polls you’d like to participate in on this blog.


You can view the results of the most recent poll below:


SHOULD RESTAURANTS REPLACE FRIES WITH OTHER VEGETABLES OR FRUIT ON KIDS' MENUS?
Yes
  7 (25%)

Yes, and on adults' menus, too
  12 (42%)

No
  4 (14%)

I don’t care
  3 (10%)

Maybe
  2 (7%)


Votes: 28


[April 28 update: never mind — clearly you’d like to leave the poll choices up to me.]

Is that really true? what if this poll became known to all. maybe the result reversed.

I know it's too late, but I'll cast my vote anyways... Fries should definitely not be the default option for childrens' menus. With the obesity issues we are currently facing, shouldn't we be trying to break some of the bad habits that we've developed over the last several years?
