Have you had McDonald’s fries lately? Notice any difference? Me either.
But, it turns out they are a little different — a little more healthy. Funny, they don’t taste any healthier. I felt just as guilty eating them last time as I ever have.
But McDonald’s pulled a fast one on us, people (a good kind of fast one!). According to CEO Jim Skinner, all Mickey D’s restaurants are now using trans-fat-free oil for their French fries. In fact, for the past few months, U.S. customers have been enjoying their fried items — including fries, hash browns, chicken, filet of fish and biscuits — with zero grams of trans fat, he said at the annual shareholder meeting.
Despite concern that it might change the flavor of their “trademark fries,” the company decided to make the change, but not advertise it immediately. Sneaky…
And to make the deal even sweeter, they say that by the end of the year, they’ll be switching over to this new oil for baked foods, pies and cookies. We’re lovin’ it! – Dorian Wagner, senior copy editor
