大约32%的美国儿童超重或肥胖。餐馆和快餐占2至18岁儿童和青少年每日卡路里的18%。改变孩子们的菜单可以改善他们的饮食。本案例研究描述了家庭、婴儿和幼儿的最佳食物（最佳食物适合），这是一种旨在解决儿童肥胖问题的社区干预措施。这项研究的目的是通过与当地餐馆建立伙伴关系，消除含糖饮料，减少高能量主菜的数量，增加餐馆菜单上的水果和蔬菜供应，改善圣马科斯儿童获得健康饮食的机会。德克萨斯州的圣马科斯是美国发展最快的城市，与德克萨斯州的其他城市相比，它拥有更多的餐馆和更少的杂货店。圣马科斯的人口是多样化的; 37.8%的居民和70.3%的儿童是西班牙裔。学龄儿童超重和肥胖率超过50%; 40.3%的儿童生活在贫困线以下。 该项目获得了德克萨斯州卫生服务部营养，体育活动和肥胖预防计划的资助，以开发最佳食品。案例研究包括开发一个品牌，让社区利益攸关方参与，审查当地餐馆现有的儿童菜单，进行业主-经理调查，与餐馆合作改进菜单，评估干预的过程和结果。最佳食品适合定期参加全市范围的健康活动，并资助在一个新的社区建设一个教学厨房，定期举行营养课程。16家独立餐厅和1家连锁餐厅实施了新菜单。改善餐馆的菜单可以是改变儿童饮食习惯的一个简单步骤。本案例研究中采用的方法可适用于其他社区。需要最少的资金来促进开发宣传项目，以支持品牌知名度。
Approximately 32% of US children are overweight or obese. Restaurant and fast food meals contribute 18% of daily calories for children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years. Changing children’s menus may improve their diets. This case study describes Best Food for Families, Infants, and Toddlers (Best Food FITS), a community-based intervention designed to address childhood obesity. The objective of this study was to improve San Marcos children’s access to healthy diets through partnerships with local restaurants, removing sugar-sweetened beverages, decreasing the number of energy-dense entrées, and increasing fruit and vegetable offerings on restaurant menus. San Marcos, Texas, the fastest growing US city, has more restaurants and fewer grocery stores than other Texas cities. San Marcos’s population is diverse; 37.8% of residents and 70.3% of children are Hispanic. Overweight and obesity rates among school children exceed 50%; 40.3% of children live below the poverty level. This project received funding from the Texas Department of State Health Services Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Prevention Program to develop Best Food FITS. The case study consisted of developing a brand, engaging community stakeholders, reviewing existing children’s menus in local restaurants, administering owner–manager surveys, collaborating with restaurants to improve menus, and assessing the process and outcomes of the intervention. Best Food FITS regularly participated in citywide health events and funded the construction of a teaching kitchen in a new community building where regular nutrition classes are held. Sixteen independent restaurants and 1 chain restaurant implemented new menus. Improving menus in restaurants can be a simple step toward changing children’s food habits. The approach taken in this case study can be adapted to other communities. Minimal funding would be needed to facilitate development of promotional items to support brand recognition.
