    Per McDonalds' website, the ingredients:

    Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [Wheat and Milk Derivatives]*, Citric Acid [Preservative]), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (Maintain Color), Salt. Prepared in Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil with TBHQ and Citric Acid added to preserve freshness), Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent. * CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK. *Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.

    Hydrogenated oils. My arteries are clogging just reading that.

    Whoa...wheat? Well, that explains a lot. My daughter has celiacs and I know that those were a treat for her. She's usually really careful when eating out at restaurants, but sometimes she calls to tell me she has know idea why she would have the symptoms. Wonder if she knows about this. She's really gluten sensitive!

    Honestly, they're not so evil. A medium serving of fries contains:

    380 calories
    19g fat
    4g protein
    48g carbs
    5g fiber
    270mg sodium
    15% of your day's Vitamin C
    2% of your day's calcium
    6% of your day's iron
    0 trans fat
    0 cholesterol

    Yes, you could make more nutrient-dense choices for that 380 calories (or 230 if you get a small). But something like this is relatively easy to fit into just about anyone's day, especially if they're exercising and have a fair number of calories to consume.

    So this is the best answer...

    A cal is a cal is a cal is a cal.
