So long as you are still deciding, let me help you along. Believe me, I love the taste of McDonald's french fries too, but do you have any idea what all goes into those small little bundles of deliciousness to make them taste the way that they do? Lucky for you, I do! After these potatoes are mass "produced" on a farm leasing upwards of 2 million acres of government land, the potatoes are sliced at speeds of 117 miles per hour and then boiled in 25,000 pounds of boiled fryer oil. Artificial flavors such as ehtyl-2-methyl butyrate are concocted to create the perfect fried potato flavor we have all come to love. Depending on the time of year, they can even alter the food to make sure the color remains the same! According to Eric Schlosser, “Near the freezer was a laboratory where women in white coats analyzed french fries day and night, measuring their sugar content, their starch content, their color. During the fall, Lamb Weston added sugar to the fries; in the spring it leached sugar out of them; the goal was to maintain a uniform taste and appearance throughout the year.” (Schlosser 131) Are you sure you don't want to go with our all-natural, freshly grown potato fries to accompany that delicious all-natural beef burger you've been eyeballing?
