This story is very, very disturbing. It seems the beef industry is unhappy that we've all been eating mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers, and that "You just don't see beef-based appetizers." That's a quote from Rob McLaughlin, vice president for product management at the Advance Food Company in Enid, Okla., which is manufacturing cheeseburger fries.

The fries are made of a meat-and-cheese compound that's breaded, deep-fried, and served with ketchup or barbeque sauce. Each fry (they come in servings of five) has about 75 calories and four grams of fat.

They're also working on a version for schools.
