Wendy's Natural-Cut Fries, All You Need To Know Is In The Name

Your clue here is the lawsuit-dodging-name "natural-cut". Wendy's never says their new fries are all natural -- only natural(ly)-cut.



"Wendy’s adds dextrose, a sugar derived from corn, and sodium acid pyrophosphate, a chemical that prevents the fries from turning brown from two baths in frying oil — one at the factory and the other at the store....... And just like every other large fast food chain, ... Wendy’s frying oil is dosed with dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone-based chemical that helps keep the vegetable oil from getting foamy after countless rounds of frying."

For some reason, even though I know fast food has chemical additives, this one really sticks in my brain. Mmmmmmm silly putty chemicals. I am turned off completely....and this is coming from a potato addict.
