McDonald’s Still Working on Healthier Fry Fat
The CEO of McDonald’s, the fast food destination of millions, and the target of much recent criticism over how unhealthy their food is, and many time addictive and blood sugar-destroying, says that they are still working on a healthier, transfat free cooking oil to fry their famous fries in.
Now, I must admit I indulge in the McD’s once in a while, and am a huge fan of their french fries, but I must also say that I invariably feel like garbage after I eat a McDonald’s meal, so there is definitely something to Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me” documentary which chronicals his spiraling health while on a month of strictly McDonald’s fare.
The announcement that they are “still working on” a healthier oil actually comes almost 4 years after the company made the announcement they were striving to be a healthier food place for people to enjoy, and some are wondering when this great new offering is going to even happen.
The CEO also goes on to say that while they are hard at work on the healthier frying oil, they also don’t want to jump the gun and announce anything until it’s perfected, as they do not want to jeopardize what McDonald’s is known for - their great french fries, which is very important to their business and branding.
They’re behind the eight ball compared to Wendy’s who already made the switch in August.
