New Menu Items at Burger King
Around the middle of last week, Burger King released information about new items they are going to add to their menu to introduce healthier choices for the children’s meals. I read all of the information and I have been giving it a lot of thought all week.
Somehow, it just seems like in the long run, the best choice you can make for your child is to not eat fast food at all, or at least not very often. I admit that I do take Gigi out for fast food from time to time, but it always labeled a special event. We don’t just stop for a last minute meal. I want her to know that decided to have fast food is something you should not allow yourself to work into your regular schedule and that even when we are in a hurry, we can find healthier options by quickly stopping by the supermarket for fruit or a veggie tray.
I do appreciate Burger King adding a non-friend chicken dish to the kiddie options, though. I still wonder about how much salt the chicken will have in it. Often, restaurants soak chicken in salt water to add volume and flavor. I’m also not comfortable with any chicken items that use mechanically separated meat as an ingredient. I’m not making the claim that burger King’s new flame-broiled Tenders will use that sort of meat, but until I find out for sure I will avoid the product.
As fort the apples, I applaud the addition. Unfortunately, as much as both I and my daughter adore applies, we are both mildly allergic to them. I’m holding out for grapes.
