Burger King has come up with a fry that it says delivers about 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than the fries sold by its archenemy McDonald’s. Burger King says that 70 grams of its new fries, named Satisfries, has 150 calories, while the same amount of McDonald’s fries has 226 calories.

We tasted them, and you may not miss the 40% fat and 30% calories stripped from the spuds.

When I was invited to taste test Satisfries, I was skeptical. A healthier fry? (The company is very careful not to say that their latest spuds are healthy, just healthier than the regular version.) Frying up anything isn’t the best way to make them good for you, and fries are sacred in that regard. So I was curious, but realistic.

The new fries will be crinkled, so that Burger King staff can distinguish them from their full-fat cousins, which will continue to be sold. The chain’s meals for children will offer them at no extra charge, but Burger King is recommending that its franchisees add 20 cents to 30 cents to the price for adults.

This is certainly half-assing the way to weight loss, like ordering a triple cheeseburger and a Diet Coke.

How do they make them lower in fat? Is it just because they're thicker and absorb less oil?

French fries served in fast-food settings are coated with a thin batter that seals in flavor and moisture and enhances exterior crunch. Burger King spent the last two years working with McCain Foods, its French fry supplier, to develop a batter that was less porous and would therefore absorb less fat in the frying process.
 
Ok, bottom line, fries are bad for you, we all know that. If they can make them a little less bad for you but still taste as good, I'm all for it. I'm very skeptical of the "they'll taste the same" claim though, but I'll give it a try to see.
 
Why don't they compare them to their own fries? I don't care how they stack up to McDonald's.

Also a lower calorie count should command a lower price. I can't pay more for something that tastes worse and offers fewer calories.
 
I am sure they taste fine once covered in tomato flavored HFCS.

Healthier fries mean I can eat more of them in one sitting. 😎

So they fry them in mini condoms
 
So they take some of the worst french fries in the industry and strip what little taste they have out? Sounds wonderful. Right up there with their brilliant french fry burger for a buck.
 
Won't work. Fat people that order French fries don't concern themselves with silly lies by the gubment about heart disease and diabeetus.
