A new study has suggested that regulating fast food meals of kids that include toys may make the meals healthier. A new policy regarding the kid’s fast food regulations has been introduced to the New York City Council. Researchers said if the policy is approved, fast food meals that include toy will have fewer fat, calories and sodium.

Senior author of the study, Marie Bragg from NYU Langone Medical Center in New York said, “We can create policies that will nudge us toward healthier behaviors”.

According to the proposed policy, kids’ fast food meals that include toys should have at least one serving of fruit, healthy vegetable or whole grain. If the policy is approved, it will limit the meals to maximum 500 calories. Adding to that, it will impose restrictions of extra salt and fat.

To understand the proposed policy’s effect, the study researchers considered fast food purchase made by 358 adult individuals for more than 420 kids at fast food chains like Burger King, McDonald's and Wendy's restaurants in the New York City and New Jersey in 2013 and 2014.

The study reported in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine that adult individuals in the analysis bought an average of about 600 calories of fast food for every kid. According to the study, third portion of the calories was from fat. The researchers found that the meals had an average of 869 mg of salt, which is about half of the total daily limit suggested by the American Heart Association.
