FAST FOOD FRENCH FRIES
Fast food French fries are potato-like "products." They're "seasoned" with flavorings, wheat, salt and sugar, all to make them super-palatable (i.e., addictive). They use low-grade frozen potatoes of unknown origin, which are then fried in high omega-6 (and pro-inflammatory) vegetable oil, which is then reused time and time (for about a week), increasing the likelihood that trans fats and carcinogenic compounds will form during the frying and make it onto your potato-like product, onto which you will now dump a ton of salt and consume in obscene, supersized amounts.

SODA
Soda doesn't have a single ingredient in it (unless you count water) that could possibly do a body any good. The DIET ONES are loaded with artificial sweeteners like aspartame (a reasonable case can be made that aspartame is a neurotoxin), and filled with chemicals and colorings of unpronounceable name and unknown origin. And the REGULAR SODAS are loaded with sugar (usually high-fructose corn syrup), so-called "added sugars" that constitute, on average, at least a quarter of our total calories (7 percent come from beverages like soda!).
Something to think about...
