Weird

"It's not realistic to ask people to replace french fries with carrots or celery sticks," says Keri Gans, a registered dietitian hired by Burger King.

That's kind of sad.

People will order those with a diet coke

And dip them in ranch.

"In a move destined to shake up the fast-food industry"

 

That is a bit optimistic, isn't it?

[Tank]

"The only change is a re-configuring in the amount of a few ingredients — Burger King won't say what they are — so that less oil is absorbed by the thinner batter."

 

the fact that there's more in a french fry than potatoes, the cooking oil, and some salt should be alarming to all of us.

[Hollyw00d]

Restaurants should be legally obligated to reveal what in their food. Especially fast food mega chains like BK

In N Out is not impressed.

[Stradling]

No we're not.

Several years ago I tried a burger/fry place called Topz that promoted their food as healthier.   I remember it being ok, but I guess I was in the minority.  Looks like there's only one left out of six.

BK has a good veggie burger. This move can't hurt because their original fries suck.

[St1ck]

Burger King is disgusting. 

[Stradling]

I thought the ingredients for fries were potato, oil and salt. Am I wrong?

I actually agree with the quote. There's food that's good for you and then there's fast food, but it's a need.

yes you are. apparently there's all kinds of chemical additives as well. it's hard to argue with the result when it comes to taste, but they've been selling us a bill of goods. their fries are poison.

[Ray McKigney]

their fries are poison.

 

Isn't this a Bell Biv Devoe song?

not yet, but it should be.

[Stradling]

In N Out Fries have four ingredients, Potatoes, Cottonseed oil, salt and pepper mixture. That's it.

[Adam]

Is that why they suck so badly?

[Ray McKigney]

Yeah, In N Out's fries are terrible if you wait more than 5 minutes to eat them. 

[nate]

That is why you get them Animal Style.

I wake up early so my lunch is usually around 11:00. For some reason their food is much better before noon. It's probably because the produce is more fresh and they have more time to cook the fries right.

[Brandon]

I like the burgers, but the fries are terrible. It's the oil they use and they have that undercooked limp dick thing going on. I also wish they used a bigger potato diver because their fries are like shoe strings.

Mmmmm
