My favorite place to get french fries is at McDonald's.
Indeed. I think they've been making good fries as long ago as 1940 in California.
The only time I have not been happy with their fries is in their international locations
Interesting. Where did you have them internationally, and why weren't they as good?
I have had them in Paris, France and they are extra thin, soggy, and they definitely use a different kind of oil to fry with.
I see. You know, I hear that they have been adding healthier menu items in response to popular demand.
that is a good idea if it is only because people want it. 
Yes, they need to respond because they depend on corporate revenues from individual franchises. They can't succeed if they don't respond to the public.
