Not much of a fast-food junkie I, once in a while, make exceptions. That being so, went to an area “golden arches” the other day; got a fish sandwich and fries, the fries being the more important. This is the “Eeuuuww”…thought they had been sitting too long, got all weak and limp. Yesterday, (blame the Christmas rushing around like I do), did the same at a closer “arches” and the fries were no better. So I’m thinking, despite the fact that I’ve seen no announcement saying they have enlisted in the trans-fatless brigades, they are surely testing the waters. Sad…for if nothing else, everyone seems to prefer Mickey D’s fries to any other and have done for years.

So they aren’t the healthiest food in one’s diet but, every once in a while, we most of us DO want something that’s good-tasting, taste and texture fat-globule satisfying, knowing it’s bad for us yet not giving a hoot. Beginning to look like that is not going to be our choice for much longer. KFC, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, NY restaurants, Canada….please! ‘Tis the season! Everybody sing…

(Tune: Winter Wonderland)

Deep fat fryer’s we will listen

And the fat, it should glisten

We came here to munch

But french fries should crunch

I’ll take my chance on one clogged artery

On a busy day I like to grab some

Junk food for the errands on my way

I can get the healthy when I stay home

But tasty, greasy’s better for today

So get your nose out my business

Don’t want fries that are listless

We give you our dough and, hey…don’t ya know

I’ll take my chance on one clogged artery!

What happened to having a choice? I know…don’t go, don’t patronize them. I’m thinking about it…….
