Here Are Some Questions McDonald's Has Still Not Answered About Its Fries
McDonald's is releasing videos to reveal what it considers the truth behind how its food is made . . . and we're a little skeptical, to say the least. Let us break it down for you.

- Why are the fries fried in hydrogenated soybean oil?
- Why are there so many preservatives added when french fries are consumed on the spot?
