    Calling fries fresh veggies half-baked, critics argue By Andrew Martin, Chicago Tribune
    Tim Elliott, a Chicago attorney who recently challenged the revision in a Texas federal courtroom on behalf of a bankrupt food distributor, said defining french fries as fresh vegetables defies common sense.

    'I find it pretty outrageous, really,' said Elliott, who argues that the Batter-Coating Rule is so vague that chocolate-covered cherries, packed in a candy box, would qualify as fresh fruit.

    'This is something that only lawyers could do,' he said, pointing to a stack of legal documents debating the french-fry rule change.

    'There must be 100 pages there about something you could summarize in one paragraph: batter-coated french fries are not fresh vegetables.'
