The Arizona Smart Choice Program is part of an effort to prevent overweight and obesity in Arizona. The prevalence of obesity in Arizona has more than doubled since 1990.

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) has developed the Arizona Smart Choice Program to help restaurant customers identify healthy menu options. As awareness of the consequences of a poor diet and lack of
physical activity spreads, more individuals are taking steps to manage their weight and improve their well being by making healthy choices when eating out.
