Everyone knows that French Fries ae terribly fattening though tasty, yet people eat and once eating it they can't stop. People do not mind getting fat or they love eating? It is very easy to put on weight, but very difficult to shed it.

I eat them because they taste good. Yummy, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Slightly salty is just delicious. You can dip them in ketchup or ranch dressing. Be daring add some cheese and chili. Tasty!

Fries aren't that fattening, or so I've been told. Its actually in the way that you cook them, and how many you eat. I mean if you are going to mCdonalds everyday, yeah those are way fattening. I was talking with my daughters doctor and she said that it's all right for children, and people to have fries, as long as you bake them. Its the grease that is truly the added fat.

I think most people eat them because they taste good. Really though, a few french fries never hurt anyone. It's the amount that most people eat that becomes a problem. A supersize serving of fries is enough to feed a large family, but most people eat the whole thing themselves. If people would learn moderation, they would not have as much trouble with weight gain. You don't have to cut out your favorite foods entirely to maintain a normal weight. The fattier/more unhealthy the food, the smaller the portion should be.

I eat them because they taste qwesome! I love them. As for the gaining weight bit...I am fortunate that I don't gain. Been having some issues with this for a while, so I enjoy my french fries still. If weight were an issue I would not eat them as I do not like the idea of being overweight.

They're just so gooooood! I can avoid them for years at a time, but then a day comes when I feel that I just have to have some, and I can't help getting some. I try to stop at a few, but it doesn't work. After a day or two with fries, thankfully, I can go back to ignoring them but I can see why some people just can't. Once, I really wanted some, so I went through the drive-thru at McDonald's. Then I felt so guilty that, when I passed a guy selling newspapers on the corner, I gave them to him. Another time, I purposely let them get cold, which means they lost their allure. They can't be reheated to the same wonderful thing, so they become trash. They can be addictve!
