Iconoculture: U of North Texas students don’t have to worry about gaining the “freshman 15” if they eat at Mean Greens.
Kids eat up a healthy menu of herb-crusted chicken, sushi rolls and plenty of fresh veggies. No, really: Mean Greens outsells two competing cafés that dish up traditional campus fare like cheeseburgers and pizza.
“Eat your greens” used to be anathema to anyone under 21. No more. Amid all the uproar about childhood and teen obesity, it’s nice to take note of a significant counter-trend.
In overweight America, the scales are still heavily tipped to the junk food side. But if a new generation is starting to eat lighter, it bodes well for a healthier future.
