Before the government got involved, McDonalds fried their fries in beef tallow, not seed oil. Leave it to the government to make everything worse. Not only is the taste changed for the worse, the seed oils are horrible for you.

It wasn't just the government. It was the vegetarians pitching a fit about the "meat based" grease the fries were being fried in that caved them in. Why couldn't they ruin some other company's fries?

If only people understood how good real fat tastes and how good for you it actually is. I'll say it again, if you're looking for a great potato chip, Gibbles in PA fries their chips in Lard. Not that carbs are good for you, but they are the best potato chip in the world IMHO.

I wondered if any one would remember this. Still though, fried is just not good in any fat.
