They made the world’s greatest French Fry. Then they threw it away.
McDonald’s used to make the best fast food french fries in the world - until they changed their recipe in 1990. Revisionist History travels to the top food R&D lab in the country to discover what was lost, and why for the past generation we’ve been eating french fries that taste like cardboard.
Season 2 (2017)

Many of us are children of the 60s 70s & 80s, after the "food pyramid" had been hijacked by big food and the sugar lobby. Animal/saturated fats (wholly natural and part of man's prehistoric diet) and cholesterol (required by the body, and mostly synthesized by the body anyways) were unfairly and incorrectly demonized by the vegetable oil lobby, and big-sugar (including Coca-Cola) to deflect attention away from the dangers of sugar and excess carbohydrate consumption. Salt too, was also demonized by the sugar lobby, as the body is FORCED to retain salt as part of the insulin response, but only after the body is forced to deal with too much sugar/starch. The nonsense now peddled by dieticians and doctors and "nutrition guidelines" the past 50+ years is slowly but surely being proven to have had no basis in truth, never proven by unbiased science. There is a growing body of common-sense that points to sugar/carbs and unnatural "vegetable oils" as the root cause and common thread to many if not most of the chronic illnesses of modern man. Saturated fats (animal or plant) are natural, stable, and resistant to oxidation because they have zero carbon double-bonds. Olive oil is an acceptable compromise, despite having one carbon double-bond that can oxidize. Again, olive oil was demonized by the vegetable oil industry because despite being natural, it has a lower "smoke point" which again is a red herring being peddled by the vegetable oil industry. I used to think these conspiracies peddled by the "health food nuts" were simply BS, but it is big-food and big-pharma that have to be feared. Much of what we have been taught is not just wrong, but in fact the exact opposite of what we should in fact be doing to and for our bodies, for optimized health and aging.

As a Generation X kid, I remember this fiasco growing up, and the resentment I harbored for a while after, for it was a bitter pill to swallow, indeed. Gone were the wonderful memories of after school happy meals once a week, the social mingling of friends at the corner McDonald's after a busy Saturday afternoon at the bowling alley, skating rink, or YMCA.. that's what's so funny about it all. We were all active kids, the type who played outside until the street lights turned on, then you'd meander back to each friend's respective homes. Sometimes life would surprise you, and from the corner you'd first smell the fries. Pace quickening as the group of pals rounds the bend, a smile would beam over your face upon realizing that *you* were the lucky duck who now was the envy of all your peers; *you* had done a great job at (insert cleaning your room, raking the leaves, acing a quiz) and your mom and dad had not forgotten. You felt appreciated and loved, but not simply for the fries themselves, but for what they represented. McDonald's usually served as a treat, _not_ a staple. It was veritable reward for an A+ on a difficult exam, or after a 9th inning win for the teeball team, all shuffled into booths, alternating between bites of fries and quick reprieves in the ball pit. As aforementioned, the portions were reasonable, but oh-so delicious, and satisfying. And unlike today, in which quantity has long given leave to quality, the singular greatness of a well-turned McDonald's fry was a thing of legend amongst harangued parents and babysitters, desperate to regain a modicum of civility as the charge first showed signs of an ensuing tirade.. there was always that one lone trump card that could bring it all back to homeostatic normalcy...the promise (if your good, now) of a McDonald's Happy Meal and it's unmistakable pull of a collectible toy and a small, child-sized sheathe of gloriously golden fries all your own..

Not going to bore you with the details, they are in the book, "Grinding It Out" by Ray Kroc. The original recipe for FF from the McDonald's Bros was very complex. From the beginning, fresh whole potatoes were delivered to restaurant locations and they had specs on how they were stored, prepped, and cooked. Kroc had to change all that in the name of efficiency. Wish I could have tasted some of those original 1950's fries.

I too lived through this... a sad day when they killed what was one of my favorite foods in the world. McDonald's was a special treat for my siblings and me. Maybe once a week, usually after church if our behavior warranted. I loved my fries. I would order them, sorting by texture and length. I would select some for addition to my burger, an enhancement in taste and texture. I would the pair the remainder and eat them in ascending order according to how I ranked their quality. I will never forget this, or the amazing happy meals. Nutrition in America over my lifetime really has been the blind leading the blind... but also gullible.

Phil Sokoloff was a rich guy with an opinion. He was not a doctor, nor nutritionist. He used his wealth to destroy American fast food french-fries. So the fries are less healthy now than when he ate them. Why wasn't he called out as the idiot he was? Great Job Phil, now more people are having heart attacks after his completely misguided attempt at fixing an imaginary problem. He was only effective because he was rich. He was not a true "David" in the goliath scenario, he may have been facing a goliath, but he had millions of dollars to throw at the problem. Rich people think their opinion matters more because they can throw more money behind it. The rest of us just want tasty french-fries.

I'm only five minutes in but I don't need to go farther to know that anything fried in beef tallow is far, far healthier than anything fried in machine oil -- oops, I mean in "vegetable" oil, which should never, ever have been introduced into the food supply. You don't even need to heat these PUFAs in a fryer; just your own body temperature is enough to cause oxidation. And if cholesterol were bad for you, your body wouldn't manufacture it and use it for hundreds of biochemical processes. They didn't mention whether Mr. Sokoloff was a smoker. It infuriates me to hear more of these stories about people with absolutely no knowledge of biochemistry influencing public health policy -- and it continues today. Don't blame fat for what the sugar/starch and chemically manufactured machine oil did. All of this was deeply researched and referenced in Nina Teicholz's excellent book, The Big Fat Surprise (only because her publisher wouldn't let her use "Lie" in place of "Surprise"). Malcolm Gladwell isn't uncovering anything new here, but I'm glad he's spreading it to his audience.

Interesting story, if you research standard potatoes in general you'll realize they're considered a nightshade which causes inflammation and deep frying in general is unhealthy. Potatoes is not a vegetable you should be eating on a daily basis... My recommendation, make sweet potato fries which is not a night shade, use a little extra virgin olive oil and bake them in a shallow pan in your own oven. You forgot to touch upon how McDonads is also sugar coating their fries, they claim this is how they get their unique golden look, evenly cooked and texture, truth is it's just there for taste and get people addicted, just like every other processed food in grocery store is laced with sugar. Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus claims rise of socialism is what's causing Americans to be lazy and fat, but yet you look at some of the socialist or communist countries like china they're living to 100... We're starting to see the repercussions to basing a diet based off of pure profits... We pay more for healthcare than any other country, yet by 2050 CDC stated 1 in 3 will be diabetic. Remind you sugar industry paid of scientists to put the blame on fat instead of sugars and carbs. Frying in beef fat prolly is healthier than vegetable oil, but deep frying anything in general is still not considered healthy. My personal opinion, if you're looking for a healthy fast food, turn to arabic fast food like shawarmas, they're baked on a rotisserie not fried chicken like most american fast food, do not use as many preservatives if any at all like subway, they also use a strong garlic paste that is probably good for cleaning out your arteries and is probably antibacterial, antiviral, and anticanerous... Garlic is very strong antioxidant! Look at Vice and Journeyman Pictures what happened to arabic people when american fast food came to Kuwait and Qatar, obesity and diabetes went through the roof, it's actually the perfect study... No need to even watch Morgan Spurlock's documentary supersize me, American fast food is garbage, always has been. Pop is garbage too, it was considered somewhat of a treat or delicacy mainly to be consumed on occasion like ice cream. Corporations have influenced Americans into turning pop, fried fries, and beef paties cooked in vegetable oils as their daily diet. The only thing probably healthy at McDonalds is probably their egg mcmuffins which last time I looked, they're cage free, but then again they're cooked on a stove with vegetable oils and is put on a piece of bread that is intrenched in glyphosate, which new studies are showing this herbicide even at diluted levels can act as an antibiotic on your gut bacteria, high levels can cause cancer, and is also an endocrine disruptor and hormone changer, Germany just outlawed this herbicide in 2023. You claim McDonalds broke your heart, lol, this food has always been garbage, deep fried foood was only meant to be only eaten on occasion, foundation of the American diet used to be what mother cooked at home like eggs in the morning, maybe even a liver or steak for dinner... Corporations have corrupted a lot of things... I'm still a fan of capitalism, but honestly, how we come back from this I have haven't a clue. They have made everything a profit, racket, including our healthcare... If you listen to what native boy Michigander Jeff Daniels not being greatest Country Anymore and we're 49th in life expectancy. Many are saying that freemarket capitalism and corporations helped win WW2 with building ships, fighter planes, etc... Definitely some truth to that, but sometimes our greatest strength can become your greatest weakness! We're living in a new age of technology, while majority of Americans are getting free unregulated videos on TikTok majority concentrating to become the next Influencer which is very unrealistic, Chinese are feeding their people a regulated version of TikTok with videos showing science experiments at home, museum exhibits, patriotism videos and educational videos... Hate to say it, American dream is over, we've turned into fat slobs that barely function in our day to day jobs. McDonalds broke your heart, lol, that should be least of your worries.... We're circling the drain like George Carlin said...

I'm a big fan of yours, Malcolm, but I'm really disappointed in this episode. If you want to argue that McDonald's fries are tastier with beef tallow rather than vegetable oil, that makes sense. But it seems your whole argument is based on a belief that unsaturated fat is more unhealthy than saturated fat, which seems to come from your reading of Gary Taubes and Nina Thai Schultz which you "love" and "wholeheartedly recommend" at the end of the episode. (And your telling the reader to Google "aldehydes scary" to find evidence for this is some really bad journalism, I expect much better from you!) I'm not saying fries made in vegetable oil are healthy, or even that they are healthier than those made in beef tallow, but Taubes and Schultz's argument for a low-carb, high-saturated-fat and high-cholesterol-diet, especially when the scientific consensus is that saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart disease, is an extremely dangerous view to be spreading to people. I hope you might consider reexamining your views on this, and I'd highly recommend that you read the book "How Not to Die" by Dr. Michael Greger, who has been diving into the peer-reviewed nutrition research for years now to share with people what the science really says. (It is by far the most well researched book I've ever read, with more than 130 pages of citations!) www.amazon.com/How-Not-Die-Discover-Scientifically/dp/1250066115

Keane, you are correct that Malcom's position is that saturated fats are natural and healthy, and PUFA (poly-unsaturated fatty acids) are unhealthy. Arguments to the contrary, are incorrect, and books written by Taubes and Teicholz (you misspelled her last name) are in fact correct. At its core, butter and beef tallow are natural productions and saturated fats are least prone to oxidation, as they have no carbon double bonds. "Vegetable oils" are not natural, are created in petrochemical factories, and are highly prone to oxidation (due to the multiple carbon double bonds, especially after repeat heat cycles. Further, there is no evidence that a low-carb diet is "extremely dangerous". it is medical common sense that a low carbohydrate diet reduces the need for insulin in the body, and a high-carb diet is not ancestral, and leads to follow-on chronic medical issues such as diabetes, cancer onset, and various forms of chronic inflammation such as arthritis. There are millions of people around the world now following and buying low-carb, keto, carnivore, or low-inflammation diets with a goal of reducing carbohydrate intake. The evidence supporting this trend away from carbohydrates is growing, and time will eventually show this is the way forward. Your position is the same as an ostrich with its head in the sand.

@@fedimusmaximus2454 Most of your statement is incorrect. Trans Fats have mostly been taken out of the food system, and are no longer really an issue. Saturated fats (butter, tallow, lard, coconut & palm oil) have no carbon double-bonds, and thus can not be oxidized. As a result, they keep well, and are stable even at high temperatures. Polyunsaturated fats (any vegetable or bright yellow oil) have multiple carbon double-bonds, and oxidize easily, especially after repeat heating/frying cycles. Further, they don't exist in nature, and are essentially manufactured in petrochemical factories using an industrial process. Most restaurants will change their fry oil once, maybe twice a week. I would rather that my fries be cooked in one week old beef tallow, than day old canola oil. I know because I am a restaurant franchisee. However, you are correct in saying "the shittier the fat". Canola and sunflower oil is not a fat, it's essentially synthetic motor oil and I wouldn't eat that. My system uses canola oil (on the grill and in the fryer) I have brought this up with higher-ups to no avail, and I no longer consume any of the food items I sell that have canola oil. All decisions are made based on price and ease of supply. and canola oil dominates the North American food supply.
