Healthy eating at the ballgame

Last year, there was a booth set up near the food court that educated kids on healthy eating. But when you ventured into the actual food court area, the choices seemed to consist solely of nachos, hot dogs, and buttery popcorn. Some ballparks even offer all-you-can-eat seats which, for some, leads to even more calories than they would normally consume at the park.

Shape Magazine offers some better alternatives when eating at the ballpark. They also offer suggestions for carnivals, food courts, and movie theaters. Consider food at these outings a rare treat -- often, even the best choices aren't very healthy.
