Default BK introduces diet chips, just EIGHT calories lower
Quote:
Burger King has launched 'diet chips' in a bid to target health conscious consumers. The fast-food chain says the new 'Satisfries', as they are called, contain 30 per cent less fat than standard fries. The UK and Ireland launch comes just six months after the lower fat fries were introduced in the U.S. and Canada. The company has worked with chip producer McCain to develop a new coating to block out more vegetable oil during frying.

'We will offer our guests a new fat-reduced option without compromising on taste,' said Bianca Shen, VP Marketing and Communications, Europe, Middle East & Africa, in a statement.

'Insight shows that guests are increasingly looking for reduced fat products... and Satisfries are the first French fries to offer guests a reduced fat option.

'The difference is that the Satisfries recipe ensures that the French fries absorb less fat during frying – offering a great tasting French fry that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the nside.'

Yet some would argue it was barely worth swapping - a small portion of Satisfries has just eight fewer calories than standard one, with 214 rather than 222

BK is terrible. Definitely the black sheep of fast food joints.

what doesn't make sense is the fact you have to pay more, surely healthier fries should now come standard and you can opt for the un-healthier ones if you wish

Why not just have fewer of the ones that taste better? I bet the low fat ones are dreadful.

Paedophile's fingers LOL... Actually I don't like McDonald's chips. They're too skinny and are cold the instant they come out of the fryer.

Or you could just go to Subway and get a turkey breast & turkey ham 6 inch sub for less than 300 calories. No sides needed or anything

I don't really like Subway, and I don't eat much bread... sometimes you need a chip though!
