Today, I had to explain to my seventeen year-old daughter that deep frying food doesn't "melt the calories." FML

Oh my, It just goes to show that common sense isn't necessarily a genetic trait, or that common. I hope she is not super impressionable and believes everything she reads or hears, although it's looking like it.

Except for the rice. Its adds trans fat and reduces the carbs in rice.

And as we all know trans fat is the best kind of fat for you cause it transmits all the bad fat away

If murder was justifiable for stupidity, the word "overpopulation" wouldn't exist in our world. Ever.

30, if that was the case, I don't think I'd want to live in a world like that.

I hope she understood. Maybe teach her to have more common sense, at least food wise.

Yes… boiling the abiotic energy in food melts it, but the hydrochloric acid (yes, hydrochloric acid! How cool is that?) in our stomachs is just like, "Cool, I'll let you right on by."

I guess her brain melted along with her core body temperature. Atleast she's light though.

Eh, to be fair, all cooking of foods with fat in them have some "calories" "melted" out of them, as the fat renders and cooks out. Though deep frying probably adds them all back plus some. She's not completely off base...

The only way calories "melt" is by exercising after you consume them.

Deep frying is probably the most unhealthy way to prepare food.

#17 She means how some of the fatty oils leak out of food when it cooks. That's why the pan is greasy after. Take bacon grease for example, that's a lot of calories that are no longer in the bacon.

Doesn't frying food ADD calories??? Or am I just stupid?

Here in New Orleans, if you fry it, you put it in batter first & that definitely adds calories!!! Don't know how else you would fry something....
