These days I'm not sure who to believe when it comes to chemicals like
what's in RoundUp. I'd like to believe it's safe to use, but I just

I play it safe by eating freedom fries in the morning and pinto beans in
the evening. Potato and bean farmers don't use Roundup.

This page talks about the benefits of French fries, which they point out
are actually Belgian fries. I suspect that Belgian fries are identical
to my freedom fries because freedom from France is the whole point of
being Belgian.

#7 says without adequate potassium, you'll be tireder, weaker, and
slower in reflexes. Not good for working on a sloped roof.

I would have to read this right about dinner time. I quit eating french
fries because of the oil/fat content in them. After putting up that
shelf I'm good and hungry now, too. {{resist temptation}}

I'll have to measure how much oil I use. It's just enough to transfer
heat from the pan to the bottoms of the potato cubes. If it's a
tablespoon, and it all ends up on my plate, that's about 100 calories.
The government recommends that 30% of calories be fat, so that's a
fraction of what I need.

It's probably not more than 150 grams of potato. That would be about
600 mg of potassium and 140 calories. Hmmm.... 41% of calories from fat,
not far from government guidelines.

My butter consumption went down after I started eating freedom fries
every day. So I guess they help meet my fat needs. I use canola oil.
It's mostly monounsaturated, like olive oil, which Popeye loved as much
as spinach.

It has lots of omega-3, which is supposed to improve cognitive ability
for those of us who are a little slow. Maybe that explains how after
all these years, I finally figured out how to use a stud finder, and it
took only 15 minutes! I'm a regular wiz kid!

lol you're funny! I appreciate the humor.

I have southern blood running through my veins, and fried potatoes are
like home town cooking for me. The oil in them doesn't like me as much
as I like the oil in the fried potatoes ever since I had my gall bladder
out some years ago.

Missing Gall bladder? So you have weight problem and digestion problem
which cauases it. However small it is VERY important organ for us.
When talking about Potassium, don't forget Magnesium, you ought know.
