"Satisfries"
As the obesity epidemic continues in the United States, companies are scrambling to offer alternatives for those seeking out healthier options. Burger King recently announced their venture into the "healthy" drive through food option called 'satisfries' to satisfy the consumers desire for healthier options. The question becomes, "How do you these new fries compare the regular fries?" Well these fries are crinkle cut and have a new batter that supposedly decreases the amount of oil absorbed during the frying process. Thus they are still french fries that are deep-fat fried to golden goodness. The calories are not dramatically different however it does help some. A small serving has 270 calories and 11 g fat compared to the regular fries with 340 calories and 15 g fat.
What do you think? Good idea to cut calories and fat or just another marketing ploy? You be the judge :)
