'Obesity On The Menu' For Kids, Group Says

(CNN) -- Fried chicken fingers, hamburgers, French fries and sugary sodas dominate children's menus in most chain restaurants, and most kids meals fall short of meeting basic nutritional standards, a nonprofit health advocacy group said Thursday.

Some 97% of nearly 3,500 kids meals analyzed don't meet basic nutritional standards, the Center for Science in the Public Interestsaid in its report "Kids' Meals: Obesity on the Menu."

What's more, 91% don't meet the National Restaurant Association's own nutritional guidelines for its Kids LiveWell program, a voluntary program for restaurant owners, according to the report.
