Nearly 100 county eating establishments have agreed to participate in Accent on Health’s healthy dining project. . . . Menus with choices such as the one above, from Antonello’s of Santa Ana, will include nutritional details about what’s on your plate. . . . “We’re asking they give out at least one of the health menus at each table,” says Anita Jones of the sponsoring group, which will soon publish “Healthy Dining in Orange County.”
