Healthier Foods the Latest Rage at Today’s Ballparks
In “Hit A Nutrition Home Run At The Ballpark,” health and medical journalist Mark Fuerst presents a “scouting report” on some of the healthy—and delicious—food choices available at several newly-built or renovated big league ballparks. The new Yankee Stadium in The Bronx reflects New York City’s diverse ethnic tastes, with offerings including fresh-made sushi and vegetarian Asian noodles. Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., has “Healthy Plate” carts offering grilled vegetable and turkey wraps, hummus and vegetables, among the healthy options. At Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, Asian stir-fry stations are located throughout the ballpark.
