The “Mega Potato” 350-gram serving of fries with around 1,150 calories comes in a comically wide cardboard container, a little more than three fourths of a pound of potato.

It’s little cheaper at 490 yen, just under $5 and can tempt people into buy french fries in bulk and in result spread obesity making  them fat.

According to celebrity trainer Subodh Gupta, “McDonald's recent product “Mega Potato” will make people fat, spread obesity and may fool kids into making unhealthy choices.”
