You want apple fries with that?
Here's something from the Sun-Sentinel's new blog The Skinny
Burger King today made a big push toward making its children's meals healthier with the introduction of broiled chicken tenders, organic unsweetened applesauce and apple slices cut into the shape of french fries. The new items should be appearing in BKs early next year.
According to the Associated Press story, the burger giant will also set nutritional guidelines to follow when targeting children under 12 in advertising, including limiting ads to Kids Meals that contain no more than 560 calories, less than 30 percent of calories from fat and no more than 10 percent of calories from added sugars.
Mommy's gonna order the broiled chicken and apple fries, too.
