Game lesson: 1) French fries have a lot of acrylamide, which causes cancer.

2) French fries are usually deep fried in transfat, which can eventually cause heart disease.

3.) French fries have bad carbohyrates that cause diabetes.

Our overall statement is that French fries are bad for you in a number of ways and with all of these fast food places around these days it's sadly normal to find a young kid already addicted to them and on the road to a number of diseases. This game will help to show kids that it is easier to keep yourself fit and away from French fries than pay the price later on down the road.
