Ok we're talking about fries. Deep fried potatoes. Places like in n out literally make them in front of you. You aren't going to do it any cheaper or healthier at home.

The "average" person doesn't "look down" on fast food workers and who tf is this "we" making fun of them?

And what exactly is the problem with cellulose? It's an extremely abundant plant based protein. It makes food have a better texture and doesn't effect the taste. Do you not eat salad because it has cellulose in the lettuce leafs?

Cellulose is a polysaccharide. Not a protein.

The oil is the big thing that makes french fries unhealthy. That and salt. Potatoes in general are pretty nutritious (more so if you leave the skin on). You can air fry them at home, go easy on the salt, and they'll be much better for you than fast food fries.
