Well these are some dumb rumors. Fries are a staple in the fast food industry. Just like hamburgers, onion rings, and milkshakes are. The only reason I see for them removing it would have to be health concerns made from someone who has too much time on their hands. Okay, the large fries are 500 calories, but who says you HAVE to get a large? Who says you even need to eat there in the first place. I've noticed some of you have talked about the super size me movie and how they took off the super size option off the menu. While I think the movie is so completely bogus and that man deserved to gain weight because he wasn't using any common sense whatsoever, I do think it was for the better they took that option off the menu. People need to learn about portion control and that's one smart step in the right direction.
The fries are delicious to me, and I would be sad to see them go if this rumor is true, but like the telephone game, rumors form and the truth gets twisted. So the rumor of them even dropping the fries is so stupid. If anything they would be making their fries healthier. And not just the fries, why not make the hamburgers healthier while you're at it. You can make something good for you while still having flavor.
Btw, I just had a big mac and large fries today for dinner. :3 Probably not going to eat anything else tonight and work those extra calories off.
