Taking time to smell-the fries

You know you are gone the second you smell them, those delectable, damning French fries. Now you know why: it's the aroma, Stupid! And what an aroma it is. Scientists in the Netherlands (so where were the French?) trapped identified 122 compounds that are lurking, along with the extra pounds, in potatoes on their way to that transcendental state called fries. Face it, you dieters! You don't stand a chance.
