Children are eating restaurant foods more than ever before, and price is among the top considerations for food choices. We categorized and enumerated entrées on children's menus from 75 full-service restaurant chains to compare prices of more healthful and less healthful entrées to test the assumption that more healthful food is more expensive. The mean (standard deviation) price of more healthful entrées ($5.38 [$2.01]) was not significantly different from the price of less healthful entrées ($5.27 [$2.04]). In contrast to research demonstrating that more healthful foods tend to be more expensive in grocery stores, more healthful entrées on children's menus in restaurants were not more expensive than less healthful entrées.
儿童比以往任何时候都更多地在餐厅就餐，价格是他们选择食物时的首要考虑因素之一。我们对 75 个全方位服务连锁餐厅的儿童餐中的主菜进行了分类和计数，以比较更健康和不太健康的主菜的价格，以此来验证更健康的食物更贵的假设。更健康主菜的平均（标准差）价格（5.38 美元[2.01 美元]）与不太健康主菜的价格（5.27 美元[2.04 美元]）没有显著差异。与表明在杂货店更健康的食品往往更贵的研究相反，餐厅儿童餐中的更健康的主菜并不比不太健康的主菜更贵。
