Twitchy favorite Megyn Kelly is giving up french fries for an entire year. . .
I am going one year without eating french fries. It’s a personal test of willpower. Q: is a tater tot a violation?

. . .a journey that she started on June 12. . .
Ps I just started on June 12th – not too late to join me!

WHY.

Thoughts and prayers, Megyn:
Praying for you, Megyn… that you see the massive error you're making 😂

She says that she’s “weak around these @$&!?€ little fried sticks & must prove to myself that they are not in charge of me”:

And Twitter is divided over whether or not a tater tot counts as a french fry:
I feel that a tot violates the *spirit* of the fry ban if not the letter. Proceed accordingly.

It’s like giving up wine but drinking champagne:
This is like asking, I vowed to give up wine, but is it still OK to drink champagne?

CNN’s John Harwood says “no”:
no

Maybe she can appeal it to a higher court?
💯. But this would make for a helluva 🥔 court case. @ChefGruel ? I have to find the defendant guilty here 😂 https://t.co/dfQhpoRPT7

How about fries made in the oven or an air fryer?
Only if they’re from a restaurant/drive thru.
If you make them at home in an oven or air fryer they’re not delicious enough to constitute a violation. Game on!

This seems like a pretty good metric, TBH:
Yes. Any potato fried in seed oils is a violation

That’s terrible news
— Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 17, 2021
But that leaves out hash browns, too:
Yes. As are hash browns, curly fries and waffle fries.

Omg hash browns – I hadn’t been considered that. Sad moment

Time to surrender?
But they are in charge of us. Surrender!

But there is a loophole!
I give up french fries every year for lent and struggle with this same question.
What I discovered is that onion rings don't count. https://t.co/h0ChRQsk1G

Good luck, Megyn!
