Smart Dining in the District

The Central CT Health District has developed a community based obesity intervention program targeting children ages 8 to 18 and their families.

This initiative is a voluntary program that restaurants can adhere to and for which they will receive acknowledgement and support for offering healthy food options on their menus.

Restaurants participating in this program will be listed in a Smart Dining in the District Guide.   Over 2,000 Guides will be disseminated throughout the four District towns.

• The purpose of the Smart Dining in the District initiative is to: 

1. Raise awareness about and support the availability of healthy restaurant fare among consumers in the District. 
2. Increase the availability of healthy restaurant fare and healthy food preparation. 
3. Increase access to healthy food options at restaurant establishments throughout the Health District.
