No, your local fast food place will not serve sweet potato fries. Not because they are not delicious. But because most people want to eat unhealthy and don’t care about the long term effects of fatty foods. But let’s take a step back here. We love fatty foods too, just check out or dessert section on this website. But moderation is keep and making a few small changes can have big effects on your long term health. For example, if you eat fries 3 times a week, maybe make one of those the sweet potato variety. You get a nice change for your taste buds and eat a little bit healthier. They are just as simple as regular fries.
