Accoding to MSNBC, "The world’s largest restaurant chain said Wednesday its fries contain a third more trans fats than it previously knew, citing results of a new testing method it began using in December." Now, if they could just use that testing method to check for gluten. _________________ -Colleen Dx 8/05 via bloodwork/biopsy 10-YO son Dx 11/05 via bloodwork/biopsy Daughters (12 and 2) have neg. bloodwork A woman is like a tea bag-you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. - Eleanor Roosevelt

They could test for gluten if they chose to. _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa

Aside from the fact that the fries can no longer be deemed gluten-free, the whole FAT issue is just icky! That does it--no more fries, not even if they're homemade, for me! _________________ ~Torrey August 24, 1975 GF BD July 12, 2004

Quote: That does it--no more fries, not even if they're homeade, for me! You can make fries at home that are good and good for you. I cut potatoes an/or yams into fries, then spritz them with olive oil (good for you), and then sprinkle with GF seasonings. Yams cause less of a spike in insulin and have more fiber. I put them on a Pampered chef stone and cook them in the oven until they are good and crispy on the outside. The stone makes them crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I think I also got the oil spritzer from Pampered Chef too. Using the the spritzer instead of aresol I can spray pure olive oil I buy in bulk at the health food store, save money and the ozone and not worry about gluten all at one time.

I took like doing my own fries at home. I cut potatoes or sweet potatoes into fries, season them with a variety of stuff, depending on my mood, and bake them in the oven until lightly brown. Much healthier. Donna _________________ Donna When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you please get that for me?" 4-21 and still living
