I will save you with my Science
Inspired by Tony's McDonalds post, I thought I'd share with you some info.

So we all know that if you eat poorly, you can get hardened and clogged arteries. Its a leading killer in the USA next to driving I'm pretty sure.

We also know that eating fried food is not particularly good for you, because the oil is fat and a lot of fat isn't going to do wonders to your health.

So here's the thing; When you fry food in oil, the chemical composition of some of the oil (fat) will change (is oxidized). These oxidized fats have been proven to act directly to form deposits along the arterial wall and basically harden and clog your arteries. And no, patting the grease off your food isn't going to save you. So if you eat fried food, the best thing to do is use the oil once and throw it away so that the REALLY harmful fats don't build up. One time in the fryer isn't going to kill you. The thing is, in restaurants they use the fryer oil constantly and usually until its smoky and black and nasty. I can vouch for Burger King at least myself and the food service at RIT. The is probably thousands if not millions of times more of the harmful fats in fried food from restaurants.

In short, please avoid restaurant fried foods and you will be healthier.

On another note, I posted in some Vegetarian topic in Otaku Lounge and am proud to have been both fair and informative but then really disgusting in the end :)
