I was so shocked.

I work at McDonald's, but I read very surprising news, and I really don't want to have its food. The news is that.

Critics say top fast-food restaurants have pulled a fast one on consumers. The easteries promised to reduce the cholesterol in their foods by cooking in vegetable oil instead of beef fat. But a consumer watchdog group says the restaurant aren't living up to thir claims.

No one ever said French fries were healthy. But three years ago, fast-food chains announced they were switching from cooking them in beef fat, which is bad for your heart, to 100% vegetable oil, which is low in saturated fat. Now a consumer group says the fries are not cooked in 100% vegetable oil but vegetable shortening, also called hydrogenated shortening, which is just about as unhealthy as beef fat.

Hydrogenated shortening is not vegetable oil, and the difference is measured in clogged arteries and coronay heart disease, the number-one killer in America today.

Hydrogenation is type ofprocess that turns oil into a har form, similar to stick margarine. Recent studies have shown the process produces something cakked transfatty acids, which raise cholesterol levels much the way saturated fat does. The consumer group, which analyzed more than 30 foods made with vegetable fat, says companies like using shortening because it has a longer shelf life, but should stop the practice.

Fast-food French fries have up to seven times more heart-unhealthy fat than if they were cooked in real vegetable oil.

The group says Burger King's fries have the highest level of heart-unhealthy fat, 58% more than when they were fried in beef fat. The group adds that the fries in a McDonald's "Happy Meal" have twice as much heart-unhealthy fat as a Big mac. Spoleman for McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chikin, and BUrger king still maintain they use 100% vegetable oil because, when it's in the fryer, it becomes a liquid. But the consumer group says that's like calling melt butter an oil.

I almost every day eat McDonald's Fries, but when I read this news I don't want to eat Fries and other product in fast food restaurant. I don't want to die when I'm young.
