The Perfect French Fry! :]

McDonalds-style, straight, skinny, golden brown, or curly fries. These are the many styles of fries! yo. French fries come in all sorts of shapes, flavors, & sizes! This may seem silly but people can spend more than 75 billion dollars on fried foods every year. To put this in the nicest way possible, the more fried foods Americans eat, the fatter they get! No wonder America is know as the "fattest country"! =] Two teenagers got fat and were inraged, so they tried sewing McDonalds (good luck with that). Let's just say they didn't win!
The "PERFECT" fry, is it out there!? Well we are trying! Scientists are striking a balance of fries with flavor, texture, and nutrition. Basically, what McDonalds is doing right now is it uses pre-fried and frozen fries, then when needed, fried again! Kinda Gross!!!!???? Well scientists are trying to decrease the intake in oil! A LOT! Fries arn't to bad, just try to take it easy, and don't make America FATTER!
