FRENCH FRIES IN THE NEWS

From New York Daily News

Micky D's has figured out a way to make its food even unhealthier. McDonald's Japan just announced the launch of a new menu item — chocolate French fries. Dubbed McChoco Potatoes, the high-calorie concoction features two sauces — chocolate with cacao flavor and white milk chocolate — drizzled over crispy fries. "The combination creates a wonderful salty and sweet harmonious taste," the company said in a statement. The new side is a limited-time menu addition available in the Land of the Rising Sun starting Tuesday. Sadly, there's no mention of whether this artery-clogging awesomeness will ever be available stateside.

This seems to me to be a ridiculous combination.... I suppose if McDonald's could create a menu item where chocolate and vanilla sauces were drizzled over an order of Spinach or Kale - perhaps then, there could be a benefit to society. Seriously, how many people don't already find the taste of French Fries compelling enough?  Anyone who pays attention to financial news knows that McDonald's has faced real problems with increased competition as well as a shift to healthier foods by more and more people. This might be an example of a company going in the wrong direction. Then again.... chocolate covered potato chips have already been available for some time...
