Now I dont know about you guess but to me french fries are like deep fired crack. I love them (but its not like i eat them every day. it makes them better to eat them on occasion ) and now i see that just looking at them could make you gain 5lbs. This is the funny part, they ae claiming the fires mentioned above are bad for you and make it should like all french fries are bad and to stay away. well according to this article they say McDonald's fries are good or well better for you.

Best Fast Food Fries in AmericaMcDonald’s Small French Fries
230 calories
11 g fat (1.5 g saturated)
160 mg sodium
Out of the big three fast food joints (Mickey D’s, Wendy’s, and BK), you’ll find the least caloric, least salty fries underneath the golden arches. The key to ordering a smart side dish is portion sizing—and McDonald’s has that under control.

Now I don't know how true this is. i thought fast food was bad for you period. and I would have thought that McDonald's would have been on the top of the worst thing to eat list. 
What do you guys think?
