Health Depts, Restaurants May Set up 'Healthy Menu Program' to ID Healthy Options

Many people in Darien, Norwalk and Westport make choices to eat healthy when they're at home - and then go to a restaurant where it isn't always clear if the food they're ordering is also healthy, says David Knauf, director of the Darien Health Department. Local health officials are also interested in encouraging residents to eat healthy meals when they go out to dinner, so some local health departments - in Darien, Norwalk and Westport-Weston - are talking with restaurant owners about developing a "Healthy Restaurant menu program" that would identify and highlight healthy food options on menus.
