Healthy Options
The Healthy Options Buffalo program was started in 2004 by the Independent Health Foundation as a way to help address the high rates of stroke and heart disease prevalent in Western New York. Through this program, the Foundation works with area restaurants to offer heart-healthy food options for their customers. These Healthy Options items, which are considered lower in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, are offered in more than 50 Buffalo area restaurants.
