Health magazine has proclaimed Denver the fifth healthiest airport, The article on its website highlights Denver’s use of solar panels, runway recycling systems and healthy eating options.
SinceI couldn’t think of any healthy airport eating options (except for the inevitable overripe banana and mushy apples on cafe counters), I gave DIA spokesman Jeff Green a call.
“Well, any of the food chains, such as McDonald’s and Burger King, offer broiled chicken sandwiches and salads,” Green says. “There are plenty of sit-down options offering healthy meals, such as Paradise Bakery. There will be a Jamba Juice opening in the B concourse sometime early in 2009. The concessions also have quick things for the health-conscious traveler on the go.”
But fifth greenest in the land? I’d hate to see what airports that rank from sixth on have to offer. — Tyler Nemkov
