Why do Fries taste so good?!?!?

Often wondered by myself, and probably many others, is Why do french fries taste so good?     so after some studying up, I found some answers...

So basically one night, I just felt like splurging on my diet, and we went and got a Large Wendy's Fries, a frosty each, and also a Big soda each. Well, I pretty much never do this, but i just needed something that tasted really good, so i tried to get all that i could find that i liked.  The only thing that I could have added was some Oreos.

So after some research I found some history of French Fries, and why they taste so good.

Earlier, most restaurants used a mix of Animal fat (usually from Beef), lard, and oil.

Nowadays, instead of using animal fat Companies now have added hydrogen to vegetable oil to extend the shelf life, while the oil is being used to fry.

So they got rid of Saturated fat, which everyone thought was so SO bad for you, and started to eat trans fat instead.  Little did they know Trans Fat is even worse, and that is what is still used today in restaurants fryers.   Even something says "NO TRANS FAT", they according to the FDA, don't have to put it on there if it is less than one gram, or if they didn't actually add it in.   But in the frying process, at such a high Temperature it turns the oil into trans fat.

TRANS FAT,  why it is so bad, as it is explained in at least one theory, is that humans contain the Lipase enzyme, but that enzyme can only breakdown "cis" fats, so basically Humans cant even digest it.

The list of things for how bad trans fat are have been linked to, but not limited to:

• Coronary Heart Disease
• Alzheimer's
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Liver Dysfunction
• Infertility 
• Clinical Depression

But that still doesn't explain why IT TASTES SO GOOD!!!
Basically your body sees it almost as a good fat (cis), but its really not,  its kinda like comparing the wolf in sheep's clothing analogy. Its so close, that your mouth doesn't see the difference, but the rest of your body sees the wolf for what it really is.
According to my understanding Trans fat also binds itself to other fat cells, rendering those fat cells also useless, as they will never be able to be used as energy for the body, which is what they were meant to do.

So in essence the more that fries taste good to you, its really your body just screaming out for Healthy Fats because you have not had enough lately and its thinking that it is getting just what it needed.
