Burger King to launch cold 'apple fries'

Burger King has today pledged to offer healthier fast-food items for American children under the age of 12, with plans to sell and market apples cut to resemble thick-cut french fries.

The fast-food chain is developing what it calls BK Fresh Apple Fries. The red apples are cut like fries and served in the same containers, but they are not fried and are served skinless and cold.
