{{w|Walt Disney Parks and Resorts|Walt Disney Resorts}} in [[Paris]], [[Hong Kong]], and {{w|Tokyo}} will eliminate {{w|trans fats}} from all food served at the parks by 2009.

This move comes in addition to ridding foods of trans fats at {{w|Disneyland}} in [[California]] and [[Walt Disney World]] in [[Florida]], by the end of this calendar year. The [[United States|American]] parks began to take action a year ago, as a response to nutritionists. Healthier options such as low-fat {{w|milk}} and baby {{w|carrots}} have been added to the menu, to increase guest choices.

{{w|Disney Consumer Products}} has already licensed the company's brands to healthy prepared food products in [[Canada]], via {{w|Sobey's}} grocery stores' ''Compliments'' label, while {{w|Tesco}} supermarkets will start offering similar foods next month.

As concern over {{w|childhood obesity}} grows, many companies are taking steps to cleanup their act, and gain the trust of customers. Trans fats have been linked to {{w|coronary}} diseases.
