OP, was their something you wanted to add, a comment or opinion, to start your thread? Or is this just more food-related fear mongering?

No, simply bringing attention to toxins in fries. Is there something to discuss in that? Judging by 5am lines at McD, not many know about this. or care.

Haven't eaten fast-food fries in many years. Don't miss them.

I don't know nuffin' bout no McDonald's chips, Miz Scarlett. Where I am, we call them "fries". Chips are thin slices of whole potato fried to a crisp (and yet we call them chips) and usually found in the snack aisle of your grocery store.

I'm very sure that if you do your research, there are toxins to be found in just about everything. I said everything. The key is, don't eat a ton of whatever it is every day. All things in moderation.

I went to lunch with my kindergarten graduate granddaughter on Wednesday and I ate four or five fries. Somehow, I don't think that's going to end my life in a hurry.

I have a grown grandson who, in his youth, ate so many raw baby carrots that he actually took on an orange glow. Including the whites of his eyes. His mother was advised to cut back on the availability of the carrots to discourage the practice.

Yes, Virginia, there is too much of a good thing.

FTR: I didn't bother to view your video.

I haven't had McD fries (or any fast food fries) in years, literally.

But the take away that I got from that video is the best nutrition comes when an individual cooks and not a corporation.

This is a Discussion forum; so yes, generally when an OP starts a thread there is a sentence or two.

I also have edited the title of this thread so that readers understand the topic. Most readers would have assumed that McDonalds started selling traditional American potato chips, otherwise.

I usually don't bother watching videos so I didn't this time either. In England we get chips that are fat and yummy. They are part of fish and chips. Over here we call them French fries and you can get them at MacDonald's.

There's a type of chip (fries) over here that you can buy frozen and bake in the oven. Supposed to be healthier.

When we get fish and chips here, the chips are nice and fat like in England--if they're stringy, we don't like them that much. I find that MacDonald's chips (fries) are too salty but otherwise not bad tasting.
