I already know that too much eating of Potato Chips, French Fries and other processed potato products are not good to our health. But French Fries is always loved by most of us. I prefer fries than burger and fries than pizza.
But as i have read today, French Fries and Potato Chips have high acrylamides and fat and sodium content.
Acrylamide is a chemical used in textiles, cosmetics, food processing, plastics, mining, and agricultural industries. It is also used in making paper, dyes, and plastics, and in treating drinking water and wastewater. And this chemical may cause cancer.
Scary right?
Most of the food that we eat nowadays really contain chemicals that are harmful to our health and most of the time we just enjoy eating it without knowing how it was made and what its content..
But i really love fries and i am craving for it now.. 
Do you crave for it too?

When thinking about all the chemicals in the "bad" foods, I always remind myself that strawberries and other berries and fruits have chemicals like formaldehyde (embalming fluid) in them. The fact is, everything has chemicals in it lol

@magallon Well, when you can't even avoid formaldehyde that is a natural part of strawberries, what chances do we really have? lol

yeah, almost all of the foods that we buy in the supermarkets contain different chemicals that are not good to our body.
so it is really better to plant our own vegetables if we have vacant areas at home so that we can eat fresh and healthy foods.

If you make them at home with fresh potatoes you can avoid the bad parts.

@BelleStarr , I agree with you, if cook by ourselves, we know better the contents and the accurate amount to be added like oil and salt.

I have a bag of frozen fries in the fridge that I have when I get really hungry. I cannot keep worrying about food because I eat too little lately anyway since I am alone.

Oh wow. That is a scary chemical in the fries. Too bad. I love fries too. Maybe there is a way a person could make them at home without the dangerous chemical

@magallon True! There is already not much nutritional value in a lot of our foods

Don't use the ready made ones. You can easily make them at home and they are chemical free as well

I do but when I do, I make my own fresh french fries. The food we eat in this country the processed food is poison.

I seldom eat fries and chips if cannot be avoided, I take just few. I prefer fruits like watermelon, apples, papaya and jackfruit.
