FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ) — More than 150 American fast-food companies have vowed to increase the nutritional value of their kids’ menu, with a 2011 National Restaurant Association initiative.
The promised changes include calorie reductions, less saturated fat, and lower sodium.
However, according to a new study by Harvard researchers, no significant changes have been made since those pledges were announced.

Previous research has found that one-third of U.S. kids eat fast-food every day.
