Wouldn't you know it, the reason I painstakingly avoid the Golden Arches once
breakfast is over is that I dearly love their fries. Unfortunately, being
diabetic, I am not allowed to eat potatoes ... or bread ... or fruit ... or much
of anything else I like. My cholesterol's low, though, so the sawbones says
that if I get the munchies I can always eat a stick of butter.

Remember...fat means flavor! ;)
I must admit...I do enjoy a McD's cheeseburger and some fries once
in a while. And the [now discontinued] Jalapeno Poppers from Burger
King were *really* tasty. Though I'm not supposed to have quite that
much salt due to high blood pressure.. :-(
