Again, another shameless plug to Yahoo!news. I love that website and proudly (albeit pathetically at times) receive all my news information from this website. One of this morning's post was about how Wendy's "natural cut" fries are not actually natural. Well, duh! It's a fast food chain, but still, to satiate my curiosity, I read further.
The fact is, there are so many different toxic chemicals that Wendy's puts on their fries (and well, every other fast food chain for that matter) that it made my head hurt. Some of them include sodium acid pyrophosphate, dextrose, and even dimethylpolysiloxane. Now, if you can even pronounce any of those in the first place, kudos to you, but the point is that if you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be eating it! Basically, those different chemicals are added to stop the potatoes from browning since they're fried before their frozen ands shipped to the stores where they are then refried. The last chemical is added to the frying oil to prevent it from foaming. Gross.
My friend, however, said it best. "If I'm going to Wendy's and looking for a healthy food option, that is my first problem." Touché. Best advice. STAY AWAY FROM FAST FOOD. Duh. Want to stop being fat and unhealthy? Don't eat crappy food. There is literally negative nutrition in that food and so you're just stupidly eating empty calories that will mess with your body. Dumb. Don't be dumb. Go buy something healthier. At the very least, if you're in the mood for a burger and fries, go to an actual restaurant. They're not going to be "healthy" healthy, but at least you have a better shot of it having at least some nutritional value.
