I have to admit they are my favorite fries. And even still I don't eat them alot. Maybe 5 times a year, and that's pushing it.
(And that was still a gross experiment)

Why are we only picking on MDs what about all the other fast food places and the stuff convience stores sell like the sweet rolls.giant muffins etc all made with transfat those scare me more than MDs fries.
That fellow that did the video... he was in the hospital after he did his SuperSize Me documentary because after eating McDonald's for a month solid, he was in liver failure. 'Nuff said
Well duh that's his own idiotic fault. You're not supposed to eat it for every meal for a month.
Yep to whoever said DUH! LOL. You need to do everything in moderation. And the dude in Supersize me didn't do ANYTHING at all. No exercise, just couch potato boy.
It's true but that's the whole part of the story. He let off exercising so he could pursue his theory when it comes to McD. I'm just amazed he could eat the entire menu from breakfast to dinner. Just thinking about it makes me sick. I don't know how he can do it all in the name of publicity.
I like the part where his GF is about to 'de-tox' him from eating McD. Hilarious!
Dairy Queen brazier burger

Steak 'n' Shake chocolate "malted" milk shake
Dairy Queen brazier burger
Dairy Queen "dilly bar" for dessert*
* P.S. When I lived in Minnesota, my best friend and I would walk to the local Dairy Queen just for a dilly bar. Mine was always chocolate mint. Yum. I was in college at the time. Many moons ago.
Aside from Micky-D's reputation, I prefer a fatter fry, one with actual potato flavor and texture inside, and with steam coming out after I bite into it.
What you are mostly tasting in the fast-food fries is fat and salt, with a hint of potato flavor.
Now I'm not saying that the McDonald's french fries are not bad for your health. They contain little if any nutritional value and are choked full of fat and starches. In other words, they are the foods described as empty calories. They don't help your body, but rather, stress it, along with white flour, and other highly processed foods. That is where the danger in eating them really lies. They fill you and give you nothing good for your body.
...Home-made fries probably contain a similar amount of fat, and the starch is the same as it would be in a baked potato.
I enjoy them occasionally myself, although I prefer Burger King because the burgers are flame-broiled.
