Healthier food choices coming to national parks

Healthier foods at our nation’s parks? Yes, but what about our favorite things like hot dogs and ice cream? Healthier food standards are being adopted by the National Park Service as part of its Healthy Parks, Healthy People initiative.  National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis says our hot dogs and ice cream are NOT going away but what is coming to food service at national parks is a variety of healthy food options. Menus will include items such as fish tacos and yogurt parfaits.
