Conservative Rumblings

The last frontier of trans-fat, McDonalds fries, have now become trans-fat free.

McDonald’s french fries are now trans-fat-free in all its restaurants in the United States and Canada, the fast-food restaurant chain said Thursday.

McDonald’s has lagged other restaurant operators in switching over to a zero-trans-fat cooking oil out of worries it would compromise the taste of its trademark fries. It has been under increasing pressure from consumer advocates and some public officials to make the change.

The new oil is canola-based and includes corn and soy oils.

I don’t want to eat canola oil and soy oil when I order McDonalds fries. The point of fast food fries is that they are NOT healthy! You don’t go to a fast food restaurant looking for healthy foods. You go there to get greasy, artery-clogging delights like the Big Mac and the Whopper.

McDonalds was the last one standing against the anti-trans-fat nannies, and now they have fallen. The end of days is upon us. Our society has grown so pathetic that now we are not even trusted to eat the correct foods, and we have to be artificially forced to consume foods that are “good for us.”

I’m sorry, but those of us who CAN eat bad foods and get away with it easily (fast metabolism, yeah) should be allowed to. I’m so sick of this nanny-style government and industry taking over everything in our lives. How about a little personal freedom? Yes? Maybe?
