| PCRM Sizes Up Airport Restaurants (Part Two) | |
"While a number of restaurants made healthy additions to their menu, the most dramatic addition was Burger King’s BK Veggie, a veggie burger which debuted last May. Some airports have as many as six Burger King restaurants, making it much easier to find a low-fat, vegetarian option, even where you’d least expect it," said Turner-McGrievy.
For the survey results, a restaurant was rated as "healthy" if it offered at least one low-fat, high-fiber, cholesterol-free entrée. To get the percentage score (the first digit in the ratings below), PCRM divided the number of "healthy" restaurants by the total number of restaurants (the second set of digits).
