Let's face it, Americans are fat and too stupid to know why. The government needs to step in and put an end to this travesty.

I see, what an unintutive name it has in English though....

It doesn't really taste any better. Companies don't use it because it tastes better. They use it because they can achieve similar taste at a much lower cost.

Pale = correct. It's absolutely horrible for you. The only fast food place that I know of that still uses it is Burger King. My family owns a restaurant, we don't use any trans fats.

Ceric · « **Reply #10 on:** December 05, 2006, 03:37:01 PM »

Now your going on to make my food expensive as well.

Maybe then you might eat LESS of it!

Everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you, and the ciagarette companies got hit int he courts. Fast food should be treated the same.

Ugh, government control over our fats and substances - please, tell me what it is legal to eat and drink in this country, I'm running out of options!

McDonalds took out all the trans-fat and now their fries are no longer worth getting out of bed just to drive down to MickeyD's at 11pm just to satisfy a salty greasy craving. The fries have lost that "something special". It is a sad day for America.... Our #1 world wide fat inducing fast food chain has lost their hook. There is no longetr a good reason to goto McDonalds over BK, Wendy's or Jacks

I'm about 6 foot tall I weigh around 155 pounds. I don't need to eat less trust me. I need to eat more.

If you were to gain 20 lbs. just from trans fat, that wouldn't be pretty

Its true, it will end.... NOW!!!

But seriously, a lady at work even brought this up today while she was eating her Taco Bell. She asked "Did McDonalds do something to thier fries? They don't taste the same anymore. I bought some the other day and ended up thowing most of them away. They just weren't that good. "

I explained everything, and then she agreed with me.

If you are so worried about your health that you monitor your cholesterol and fat intake, then maybe you shouldn'tr be eating the damn fast food anyway. Leave it alone, if its not good for you then go somewhere else or go make your own. I shouldn't have to be health aware just cause you can't say no to an X-tra large fries 3-4 times a week. I shouldn't be deprived just beacuse instead of walking to the store 3 blocks from your house, you decided to drive, and just because you drove you decided to go a few blocks more and get some more McDonalds.

sorry, I guess I got a little carried away, but I used to really like McD's fries and now they are garbage, so excuse me for venting.

Thats good, cause I was just stating that there is no longer a good reason to goto McDonalds, w/o their fries they have nothing.

I hear their premium salads in a cup are excellent. And your kid can get milk--2%, of course--with his happy meal.

Wendy's is my favorite, their fries are better in my opinion and have been for a while now, the only problem is 1) they are more expensive that others, but you get what you pay for too. & 2) there isn't a Wendy's around me. I crave a Triple Classic.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:25:52 AM »

I hear the dressing that comes with McDonald's salads is just as full of fat and badness as their other stuff.
