However, there are very few places I wouldn't rather eat. I’m grateful that - in case I’m on a road trip and there is ABSOLUTELY no place else to eat - they have added a decent veggie burger.

You're absolutely right that there WAS something beefy about the fries. McDonald's stopped doing that a few years back though. Especially now, with stricter food regulations and McDonald's full nutritional disclosure, the chain can't get away with anything this any more. Hi Rick -

Realized this when some vegetarians sued them for using an animal product on their fries and not disclosing it. They do now! I haven't eaten McDonald's in years. But I loved that terrible food. Is it any wonder that I was 50 pounds heavier back then? I found out why the fries at McDonald’s are so tasty: they use beef flavoring on them.

I can tell you this: 1) their cheeseburgers have nothing on In-N-Out's; 2) each McDonald's restaurant gives out different amount of french fries. One I went to gave out 86, and the other gave 45. (Yes, I had to count the number of fries for my homework.) BTW - yes, McDonald's fries are frozen. This is because founder Ray kroc wanted consistent good quality french fries. Regular potatoes have varying sugar contents due to seasonal climates. McDonald's frozen potatoes process reduces moisture and preserves crispness of potatoes year round, regardless of weather. Who says I'm not learning anything in school? McDonald’s update: I had to visit two different McDonald’s today within one hour.

BTW there is a film version of Fast Food Nation -- an incredible read -- directed by Richard Linklater that is coming out sometime this year.
