Concession Stand Operators & Organizers
Fargo Cass Public Health’s Fast Fuel initiative aims to make it fast and easy for concession customers to select foods and beverages that provide the best “fuel” for athletes, families and fans.
The goals of Fast Fuel are:
- To make concessions healthful and profitable.
- To assist in making the process of offering a variety of healthful items easy, with at least 50% of products meeting guidelines.
- To provide the best “fuel” for athletes, families and fans.
- To make it fast and easy for customers to select healthful items.
Rates of overweight and obesity continue to be a concern for adults and children. The food environment plays a role in shaping eating behaviors and influencing food choices. Many families attend and participate in events where their only access to food and beverages is from concession stands, which offer an opportunity to support healthful behaviors.
