The French fry appears to be taking sole blame of Americans being obese.
Many organizations are vilifying the French fry as a symbol of high calorie, nutritional-less junk food.
Last year, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said "no,"when they released new guidelines that would have eliminated potatoes from school breakfasts and limited the amount of starchy vegetables, including potatoes, that could be served in school lunches.
The potato industry fought back, and in October of last year Congress saved potatoes from cafeteria banishment.
If you ask National Potato Council (NPC) Executive Vice President and CEO John Keeling, the new guidelines were really about one very specific food: French fries.
