Menus have a "healthy section" now?

[andrewducker]

Apparently they do at this particular chain where the experiment was carried out.

Wasn/t that the point of pizza express' "thin pizzas" and "pizzas with salads instead of middles"? :)

The thin pizzas are just larger... the ones with salad maybe are trying to be "healthy" I guess.

I'm sure _something_ was billed as healthy. Or maybe "lighter". I think it might even have been written in green. I thought it was a reasonably nice idea, even though I basically glossed over it.
