To take a spin on the Salt N' Pepa song
Lets Talk About Sex" for
a moment...
"Let's talk about food, baby. "Let's talk about you and me..."
Honestly people. Why do we eat? Sure, there is the purely biological need to "eat" so we can live, to exist. So why
do we gorge ourselves on ice cream, or potato chips? Because it TASTES good!!! Enter McDonalds french fries stage left.
McDonalds french fries were without a doubt, some of the best fast food fries on the planet. But then the
trans fat ban train
started to kick into high gear and the politically correct "gotta protect you from you" assholes decided anything
that tastes good, MUST be bad for you, thus, it should GO AWAY!
Well thank you so very much.
The old days of me making random stops at a McDonalds drive through JUST for a tiny bag of fries are long gone.
As soon as the trans fat bans started to kick in, they had to change their recipe, and while McDonalds says they
are using an oil that has the same taste I beg to differ. They do NOT taste the same. The fries used to be the
best part of the McDonalds bag. Now, I only eat a few and throw away the rest. Probably better for me that way
anyways but lets remember the fact everything we eat is NOT good for us, but that's kinda the point.
