In this episode of Synergy Loves Company, host Eric delves into Disney's efforts to promote healthier eating with the Mickey Check, now known as the Disney Check. We explore the program's origins in 2005 when the FDA revised dietary guidelines and childhood obesity was declared an epidemic. Eric discusses how Disney introduced nutritional guidelines informed by the FDA, starting with kids' meals in theme parks and extending to licensed grocery store products. The conversation covers Disney's collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move program, the Magic of Healthy Living initiative, and the expansion of the program to include Star Wars and Marvel characters. Eric examines the criteria for receiving the Disney Check, the impact of the initiative on Disney's broader health programs, and innovations like the plant-based Mickey Check. Tune in as Eric shares insights into Disney's commitment to connecting with their audience through healthier choices.
