Food - The Best and Worst French Fries in America

This article from Men's Health caught my eye because I seriously crave french fries every so often. Of course, most people would say not to eat french fries AT ALL, but realistically, the more I try to avoid them, the more aware I am of them and the more I want to eat them! Read the The Best and Worst French Fries in America here. Surprisingly, Cheesecake Factory's Sweet Potato fries are really terrible - 960 calories and 1521 mg in sodium! People get tricked into thinking they are healthier because it is sweet potatoes, but the portion and the frying oils makes it worse than regular french fries. Might as well just go for a small order of regular fries and indulge without all that guilt! And, with as much publicity McDonalds gets for being the evil fat-making king, their small fries are pretty decent - 230 calories and a surprising 160 mg of sodium. Not bad for a once-in-awhile snack. Of course, eating french fries every day is not a good idea. ;-)
