Frito-Lay North America to Add Healthier Snacks

Okay, they're not copying McDonald's. Yeah, yeah. But Frito-Lay, the snack-maker, said today it plans to cook its Doritos, Tostitos and Cheetos snack in a more healthful cooking oil and to introduce low-fat versions of some of its snacks, all because it is worried about the way Americans eat. Jolly decent of them, I say, but I wonder if the consumer reaction will be the same as the reaction that greeted McDonald's announcement that it is cooking french fries in a different oil. (See item below.) Essentially "ho-hum."
