Mmm...French Fries

A natural french fry from a fast food chain? That would be wonderful!

Too bad there isn't anything "natural" about french fries at Burger King, McDonald's, or any other fast food restaurant right now.

But has Wendy's made "the change?!"

Not quite.

Here's my take on this topic:
Most people who frequent fast food chains aren't thinking they are eating "healthy" foods when they buy meals or snacks there.
Many people who are already eating very nutritious foods are not going suddenly start going to Wendy's because they use sea salt and leave the skin on their fries. Hello - they're still DRENCHED in oil, and the AMOUNT of salt is staggering!

Will you be trying Wendy's new fries?
Does this change make a difference in your buying habits?

Wendy's is my favorite of the fast food joints! Umm, I'll have a #6 please! Although, I like the idea of the new fries I don't think I'll go out of my way to get them. Like you said they're still drenched in oil.

Although, I think it's hard to replace the taste of oil drenched fries (mmmm!!)in Boston there is an alt. fast food chain called "B. Good" ( http://www.bgood.com/) At "B. Good" fries are baked so at least you feel okay eating them. They also buy a lot of their food locally which I like.
