    Did ... did they think the reason tallow is gone is because of wokism and not corporations cheaping out to make a profit?!

    "We're against regulation. "

    "We're going to force a private company to change their recipe."

    Logical consistency is not their strength.

    bringing back beef tallow in McDonald's would do more to encourage Gen Z to boycott it than the BDS movement ever achieved.

    How are they gonna legislate this exactly? Will Trump make an official executive order that McDonald's is now legally required to use tallow in their fries?

      you cant call it french fries unless it's made with tallow. if it uses plant based oils, you have to call it "vegan potato straw". americans will kill each other to avoid eating it.

        It's funny too, that their French Fries do still have 'beef flavor ingredients' in the US, so they already aren't vegan

          But is it actual beef or is it some artificial flavouring using petroleum and corn syrup as feedstock?

            they are listed as 'not vegetarian', though I don't actually know what the beef flavoring is

            Cause, I do like some Vegan beef/chicken flavoring in stuff, and I think those are largely MSG+treated soy proteins, or something
