Answer 2

1. shitting it out (maybe lose more weight)

2. running it off

Answer 3

I just want to make one thing clear cause this whole thing kind of pisses me off. People are ignorant when they ask  questions like this. ALL FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS HAVE FRIES THAT ARE BAD FOR YOU. It is impossible to deep fry potatoes and have them come out healthy. All fast food fries are bad, its just the way they are cooked. Just because McDonalds is #1 doesnt mean they need to be picked on all the time.

Answer 4

That is a myth about the 10 pounds.

Answer 5

You are sooo right!! Go to blockbuster and rent the video Super Size ME!! I watched it and it is sooooo good. And also in the future if you want to knmow more about fast food then get a book called,"Chew on this." I read it and it is really good. And in the book it says that mcdonalds fries are beef flavored. GROSS I KNOW!! And good luck in your debate!!

Answer 6

It is more about how much you eat vs what your are eating. If you enjoy fast food in moderation, you are fine.

Answer 7

The regular size has about 400 calories alone.

Answer 8

i watched supersize me and stopped eating that weird food. If thats not enough, read FAST FOOD NATION! It tells you where all these major food chains get their meat from and whats in it, trust me its not good.

Answer 9

Just reminder this all most everything that taste good is bad for you.  See Super size me..I was only able to wacth about half the move before I started to feel sick.

Answer 10

They are loaded with fat like all fried foods. But so are cookies and cakes. A little fat is good for You. But avoid saturated fats, like from beef or pork. Olive oil is actually very good for You,but of course in moderation. Mcdondalds switched the oil they use to a better form of unsaturated fat, but yes all fat is still high in calories. So it is OK to enjoy a small serving of french fries once in a while, just not every day. To much of anything is not good for You, even water.

Answer 11

I hate their fries they are nasty

Answer 12

I'm gonna make this super easy for you....go to Blockbuster and rent "Super Size Me!"

It's a documentary about this guy with literally eats ONLY mcdonalds for an entire month. That will give you a perfect explanation about McDonalds fries, etc.

There's really no debate about it anyways...it's fact!

Good Luck....you can thank me later when you ace your debate! :o)

Answer 13

well dear Samantha, if you want info on McDonald's look for this movie in a movie store it called SuperSizeMe it's really good

Answer 14

Horrible, here is the nutrition facts.

Serving Size: 1 medium order / 4 oz (114g); Calories: 380, Total Fat: 20g, Carbs: 47g, Protein: 4g

Answer 15

They are TERRIBLE.  If you ever buy a medium fry or something, the nutritional information is on the side.  I read it one time and it made me never want to eat fries again...but I will haha.

Answer 16

my cousin told me that McDonald's french fries r bad 4 u because they turn green 4 a few days and in and out have fresh french fries.

Answer 17

Very bad I am sure, french fries from any place very fattenting but very yummy.

Answer 18

if it looks good, I'm eating it. if i eat too much of them and get fat, that's my fault. McDonald's fries are so addictive, once you start eating one, you gotta finish the rest of them.

Answer 19

You'd be better off eating the cardboard box.
